The title of the contract is "Provisions," relating to goods primarily classified under food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. This initiative is currently in the award phase, with the contract period extending for a total of 240 days, following a modification to meet the increased demands of the NHS and social care sectors due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The estimated value of the contract is £2,000,000 and was signed on 9th May 2022. New tender processes are planned to commence by November 2022.

Businesses capable of supplying a diverse range of grocery provisions, such as dry goods and beverages, will be well-positioned to compete, given that the framework agreement allows for participation by all NHS Scotland Health Boards and associated entities. This contract not only ensures a steady demand but also contributes to the critical supply chain for healthcare organisations in Scotland during this recovery period.
