## Summary

The SOLIHULL METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL recently awarded a contract to Edenred (UK Group) Ltd for the "SOL - School Meal Voucher Scheme 2023". The procurement process, which was initiated as a tender, involved the supply of Grocery Vouchers for School Children and their families in need of support in the West Midlands region. The contract, valued in GBP, commenced on 14th July 2023 and will run until 13th July 2026, with an option for a 1-year extension until 2027. The procurement method was selective, with the contract awarded through a call-off from a framework agreement.

The SOL - School Meal Voucher Scheme 2023 opportunity presents a chance for businesses specialising in goods related to Luncheon vouchers to compete. While the contracting authority, SOLIHULL METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL, is the main buyer in this process, the selected supplier, Edenred (UK Group) Ltd, will play a significant role in delivering the voucher scheme. Companies interested in providing similar services in the West Midlands region should consider this tender opportunity as it involves a substantial contract period with the potential for extension, creating a stable revenue stream for the successful supplier.
