Summary of the contracting process

This procurement, awarded on 23 July 2024, encompasses a flexible framework agreement for up to 60 months, initially running for 36 months with potential extensions. Targeting the services sector, the agreement facilitates the bulk delivery of meals to central distribution points and meal delivery to customers' homes or nominated premises, including welfare checks. The services, covering various locations within Scotland, cater primarily to Scotland Excel's 32 local authority members and associated bodies. The awarded suppliers, Apetito Ltd and I Care (GB) Limited, will deliver a range of well-balanced community meals, ensuring health and nutrition.

The awarded tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in food services, logistics, and social care. Enterprises in the food supply chain, particularly those experienced in meal preparation, transportation, and distribution, can benefit by participating in the framework's flexible terms and the possibility of service variations and re-openings for new entrants. This framework not only provides market stability but also ensures continuous engagement through value-based and quality-centric evaluation criteria. Additionally, by contributing to the provision of community and welfare services, businesses can enhance their portfolio and civic responsibility.
