The tender, titled "Fresh Milk & Cream Products," is aimed at providing a variety of fresh milk and cream products within the health sector. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to health, and is currently at the award stage. The contract was signed on 1st June 2022, with an estimated contract value of £1.7 million, and it is noted that this framework may operate until September 2023, following a necessary extension due to impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly dairy suppliers capable of delivering fresh products to accompany health services across Scotland. Companies with experience in supplying food products to public sector organisations, particularly those operating under health and social care regulations, would be well-positioned to participate. As the procurement was executed through a limited procedure without prior publication, it suggests an immediate need for suppliers to respond to the evolving demands of the health sector, highlighting the necessity for agile and responsive businesses in this field.
