Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by The Pensions Regulator involved the delivery of milk to their Brighton-based Telecom House. Classified under the services category, the tender, titled "Milk Delivery", was awarded following a restricted procurement approach characterized as "Below threshold - limited competition". The tender has reached the completion stage, and the contract was signed on 27 May 2025, with an operational period starting from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026, and potential extensions up to 2029. This central government procurement provided service opportunities in the Brighton area within the United Kingdom.

This tender creates potential growth opportunities for SMEs and other service providers specializing in meal and food delivery services. With the contract being awarded to Sun Harvest, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), businesses looking to expand their client base in government contracts might find similar opportunities particularly appealing. The opportunity for contract renewals could benefit businesses with a capacity to offer competitive pricing and sustainable packaging solutions. Therefore, companies with expertise in logistics and supply chain management for food services and a commitment to sustainability are well-positioned to compete in similar procurements.
