Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Scotland Excel, a central purchasing body located in Paisley, UK, seeking suppliers for the framework titled "Supply & Distribution of Fresh Fruit & Vegetables." The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, which was completed on 6 March 2020, with an estimated value of £5,400,000 for fresh produce and £600,000 for organic options. The framework aims to serve various local authorities across Scotland, covering diverse delivery locations identified within the geographical boundaries of participating councils.

This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the supply of fresh and organic produce. Suppliers in the fruit and vegetable sector, particularly those experienced in logistics and distribution, will find this framework appealing. Additionally, businesses keen on community benefits and sustainability in the food supply chain are well-suited to participate, given the focus on providing healthy produce to local authorities.
