Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is inviting suppliers to participate in its procurement process for the provision of ambient meals, in-cup drinks, and ancillary items. The contract, awarded to BFS Group Ltd T/A Bidfood, marks the completion of an open tender process that began on 27 May 2021, with the contract valued at £400,000. The procurement, classified under 'goods' in the public order and safety industry, is located in Glasgow, UK, and was executed under a single supplier, single lot framework with direct awards via the Kent Police framework.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the food supply industry, especially those specialising in ambient meals and drinks. With the growing demand for comprehensive service provision in custody centres, companies capable of meeting high-volume orders and ensuring consistent quality could benefit significantly from this award. Demand from public sector organisations like Police Scotland often favours larger suppliers, but there may also be opportunities for innovative smaller firms to collaborate with established providers or develop niche offerings.
