Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council is in the process of restructuring its procurement for Food and Catering Supplies, which was initiated as an open tender for various lots, including fresh produce and frozen foods, to be delivered within the Borough of Swindon. The procurement was intended to span an initial period of 36 months starting from 1 March 2021, with a potential 12-month extension. However, the process has been cancelled due to identified discrepancies in the tender documentation that were deemed to impact fairness and compliance with best value principles. A new tender opportunity is expected to be advertised shortly on relevant platforms.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply chain, particularly those specialising in food and catering products, cleaning supplies, and disposables. Suppliers of fresh fruit, frozen foods, dry goods, and related services could greatly benefit from the forthcoming procurement process. It is advisable for interested businesses to prepare for participation in the new tender by ensuring they meet the necessary qualifications and are registered on platforms such as Contracts Finder and Supplying the South West.

    "description": "Swindon Borough Council has taken the decision to abandon the current tender process in relation to the procurement of Food and Catering Supplies. When creating the evaluation spreadsheet for the award stage questions, the council identified a number of errors within its published tender documentation, specifically in the Instructions to Tenderers stated evaluation criteria for lot specific questions 6.1.14 and 6.1.15 with regard to the applicable lots which bidders should respond to and Section 6 Tender Award questions where the lot specific answers were requested. The council has determined it is necessary to amend these errors only to ensure that the council can achieve its duties in relation to best value, transparency and equal treatment of all bidders as these errors could have caused bidders some confusion. The council is therefore abandoning the current tender process and will be issuing a new tender. It is currently anticipated that the new tender opportunity will be advertised on the new Find a Tender Service (which has recently replaced OJEU), Contracts Finder and the Supplying the South West portal shortly and we would encourage all bidders to register their interest and download the new tender documents to participate as this will be a new tender opportunity.",
