## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is seeking to address food insecurity in the region through its procurement titled "Food Vouchers for Vulnerable Families (winter 2021/2022)." This project falls under the administration, defence and social security services category, specifically targeting the social work and related services sector. The direct award method has already been completed, with a significant contract value of £2 million, encompassing a contract period from 15th October 2021 to 31st March 2022. The tender process concluded on 1st October 2021, prior to the award, which was published on 9th December 2021.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in social welfare, food supply, and financial services, particularly those looking to expand their reach within the public sector. Suppliers with experience in distributing food vouchers or similar services would be particularly well-positioned to compete, as would small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate their capability to effectively implement such initiatives.
