Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council, operating through its trading arm Leicestershire Traded Services, is planning to establish a framework for the supply of fresh fruit, vegetables, and produce. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a prior information notice issued on 20th May 2022. This opportunity falls under the goods category and is associated with the CPV classification for cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, and nuts, with an estimated value of £4,000,000. The tendering process is anticipated to begin with a future notice date set for 17th June 2022, and services will mainly be required within Leicestershire, although some delivery will extend to Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire, and Nottinghamshire.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in the supply and distribution of fresh produce, particularly those that can cater to institutional catering services. Companies with experience in handling large-scale food supply contracts, particularly those familiar with the regional dynamics and logistics of the UK food supply chain, will be well-positioned to compete effectively. Interested suppliers can register their interest through the East Midlands Tenders portal to contribute to shaping the final procurement approach.
