Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council has completed a procurement process titled "CPU 7622 Provision of local fresh produce at Nottingham heritage sites," underlining its commitment to supporting local suppliers. The procurement, which falls within the goods category, specifically focuses on delivering fruit, vegetables, and dairy products. The process was conducted using a limited procurement method, aimed at acquisitions below the threshold. The contract was awarded to The Fruit Basket, a Nottingham-based SME, and is set to run from 1st March 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a gross value of £72,000. The procurement activity took place in the Nottingham region (UKF14) as part of sub-central government operations.

This tender presents an opportunity for local businesses, particularly those in the food supply sector, to enhance their visibility and stability by establishing a working relationship with a large public authority like Nottingham City Council. SMEs like The Fruit Basket, which successfully secured the contract, exemplify the potential for smaller enterprises to engage effectively in the public procurement market. Businesses with capabilities in providing fresh produce and similar goods should consider such opportunities to expand their market presence and capitalize on stable demand from government contracts.
