Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes College procured confectionery and related catering goods for its Catering Department. The requirement covers food products, including processed food and fast-food products, for delivery in the United Kingdom. It is a goods contract intended to supply the college’s catering operation; the published item descriptions do not break the requirement down into specific products or quantities. The buying organisation is Milton Keynes College. The procurement was arranged as one lot, so the requirement was treated as a single package rather than separate product or delivery lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Snackline Direct Limited. The award was made on 7 June 2026, with a stated award value of £150,000. The contract period runs from 23 October 2026 to 6 June 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions and a maximum extent to 6 June 2031. The estimated tender value was £450,000 excluding VAT (£540,000 including VAT). The college used an open procedure. Eight bids were received and one reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, technical quality at 30% and customer care at 20%. Candidates were required to provide business quality standards, accreditations and relevant experience as selection evidence.

This award shows demand from Milton Keynes College for a continuing supply of confectionery and related food products to its catering department. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be able to demonstrate dependable food-product supply and the capacity to serve a college catering operation over a sustained contract period. The selection process placed importance on evidence of business quality standards, relevant accreditations and experience, so suppliers should have these credentials documented and ready to demonstrate. The award also indicates that price is important, but accounts for only half of the evaluation: customer care and technical quality together make up the other half. The successful supplier was a large company; the lot was also marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
