## Summary

The procurement process concerns the awarding of a grant for a foodbank service by North Tyneside Council, located in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. This initiative, titled "Award of Grant for Foodbank service," falls under the services category, specifically focusing on food parcels (CPV code: 15897300). The contract period commenced on 1st April 2018 and will conclude on 31st March 2019, while the procurement method employed was a single tender. The award notice was published on 14th May 2018, and the tender was executed in support of local welfare provision for eligible residents in crisis.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) that can provide food distribution services or support for logistics and administration. With approximately 900 food parcels to be managed annually, businesses engaged in logistics, food supply, and community service management are encouraged to explore potential avenues to participate in or support such initiatives. By collaborating with established entities like North Tyneside Council and the Bay Foodbank, businesses can enhance their community contributions while also expanding their operational capacities in the public service sector.

## Notice

AWARD ONLY OF:- The Bay Foodbank is used by the welfare assistants team to provide food parcels to North Tyneside Council (NTC or the Authority) customers in crisis who are eligible for support as part of local welfare provision. This is approx up to 900 parcel per year. The Authority offers a grant to support the work that the Foodbank does in the community. The foodbank utilises the money to pay a driver to deliver the food parcel each day and an admin worker to manage the referrals as well as purchasing food. In addition for eligible residents receiving parcels, they also provide parcels for client referrals ( as instructed from NTC) not eligible for support from NTC but are in crisis as well as referrals from other agencies.
