Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has completed a public procurement process titled "UKRI-4286 Supply of Fruit and Vegetables," focusing on the supply of fruit and vegetables to the Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Bristol/Bath area under the industry category of "Vegetables, fruits and nuts" (CPV: 03220000). The procurement was conducted through an open procedure with a total contract value of GBP 200,000. The process, which began with a tender published on 16 September 2024 and included an open bidding period until 21 October 2024, has now reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 12 January 2024. The procurement process also included an option for a one-year extension after the initial two-year period.

This procurement tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of fresh produce to gain a foothold in a substantial and stable contract with UKRI. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in particular, could benefit from this opportunity, provided they meet the quality and capacity criteria specified in the tender. The contract's focus on quality management and fulfilment capabilities suggests that businesses with robust supply chain logistics and quality assurance processes are well-suited to compete. The established relationship with a prominent public body such as UKRI can drive business growth and enhance the bidder's profile for future opportunities.
