## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of emergency food was initiated by Norfolk County Council, located in Norwich, England. This contracting authority aimed to address urgent needs resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic by providing essential food packages to extremely vulnerable individuals in the region. The procurement was executed without prior publication, adhering to regulation 32 2(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 due to the unforeseen circumstances. The award was granted to NORSE EASTERN LIMITED for a total value of £58,207.62, commencing from 6th April 2020 and concluding on 26th May 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in food supply and distribution to engage in public procurement, especially those capable of responding to urgent requests. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on logistics and emergency supply chains would be particularly well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. The context of the tender also highlights potential avenues for growth in sectors related to emergency provisions and community support initiatives.
