This Expression of Interest exercise is being undertaken to assist the Council in understanding the level of market interest, supplier capacity and the overall size and capability of the market. The information gathered will help inform the Council's procurement strategy and determine the most appropriate route to market for the future procurement process. The Council Authority requests that interested suppliers submit responses to the questions outlined below: 1) Scope and Delivery Model Please confirm whether your organisation has the capacity and capability to deliver a comprehensive food supply service covering ambient, chilled/fresh, and frozen products under a single contract arrangement. If this is not feasible, please outline your recommended delivery model, including any alternative lotting or contractual structures you believe would better support effective service delivery and market participation. 2) Service Model and Risk Assessment Drawing on your experience of delivering similar contracts, please identify any elements of the proposed service model, delivery requirements, or contract scope that may present challenges, risks, or barriers to participation. Where possible, please suggest mitigations or alternative approaches the Authority may wish to consider. 3) Commercial Attractiveness and Market Appetite Please outline what contract size, delivery profile, and service requirements would represent an attractive opportunity for your organisation. In addition, please identify the key commercial, operational, or contractual factors that would influence your decision to participate in a future procurement exercise of this nature.",
