## Summary

The South Cambridgeshire District Council has issued a tender titled "Mobile Foodhub" seeking a contractor to operate a mobile foodbank in several villages identified through deprivation data. The foodbank will visit the villages on a weekly basis, providing food items with no set eligibility criteria. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender period ending on 5th May 2023 and a contract period starting from 13th June to 31st October 2023. The main procurement category is services, and the suitable businesses are SMEs and VCSEs.

This tender from South Cambridgeshire District Council for the Mobile Foodhub presents an opportunity for businesses in the restaurant and food-serving services industry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this tender. Businesses interested in providing food services to underserved communities in the specified villages should consider participating in this open procurement process.

## Notice

SCDC is looking for a suitable contractor to run a mobile foodbank, servicing initially 6 different villages, and rising, depending on its success. The villages initially identified have been selected using the indices of deprivation data from the 2021 census, targeting wards with the highest level of households deprived in two or more dimensions that do not have close access to a foodbank. These villages/wards are Papworth, Over & Willingham, Histon & Impington, Fen Ditton & Fulbourn, Linton, and Duxford. These locations are subject to change as prior engagement with each ward must be undertaken before starting this project. A van filled with food items will visit these villages on a weekly basis, to set up a marquee in a suitable, accessible location and run a foodbank for 2 hours each time. There will be no set eligibility criteria for people to access the foodbank, but this is subject to change following the trial period.
