Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is planning a procurement process for a pan-Government Collaborative Agreement to provide Food & Drink. The estimated value of this contract is £1.8 billion, targeting a wide range of UK public sector bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education, and Devolved Administrations. The engagement process is set to commence with an introductory webinar on 14th September 2021, where potential suppliers will have the opportunity to participate and provide insights to help shape the final procurement strategy. This PIN replaces an earlier three-stage procurement process and is currently in the planning stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, involved in food production, catering, and related services. Suppliers who can demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices, local sourcing, and quality food provision are especially well-suited for this procurement. The final structure of the procurement will facilitate access to public sector food opportunities, aiming to support local communities and enhance social value in public sector food procurement.
