Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Argyll and Bute Council concerns the tender titled "Supply and Distribution of Fresh Fruit, Vegetables, Potatoes and Prepared Products," aimed at securing suppliers for delivering fresh fruits and vegetables to various public sector outlets across Argyll and Bute, including schools and social care units. This tender is classified under the goods category, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure. The contract has recently emerged from the award stage, following a competition that concluded with contracts signed as of 19th July 2019.
