Summary of the contracting process

The Red Kite Learning Trust has completed the procurement process for establishing a National Framework for Food Supply Broker Services. This framework, categorised under catering services, aims to provide purchase-to-pay solutions for public sector organisations across the UK. The procurement followed an open procedure in compliance with Public Contract Regulations 2015. The framework agreement is set to commence on 18th November 2024, spanning three years initially with the possibility of a one-year extension. Notably, the agreement involves a single lot and will accommodate up to five suppliers. Key players like Allmanhall Ltd, E-Foods Limited, and Pelican Procurement Services have been awarded contracts worth a total of £225 million.

This framework offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in food brokerage and P2P solutions. It invites participation from firms capable of providing consolidated ordering portals, supplier management, quality checks, and nutritional advisory services. SMEs with expertise in school meal services, miscellaneous food products, and catering services are particularly well-suited to compete. The framework's broad scope allows for in-depth collaboration with public sector clients, ensuring consistent quality and value for money while promoting local and national suppliers through streamlined procurement processes.
