## Summary

Bristol City Council is conducting a public procurement process for the "Bristol Catering Provisions Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)" aimed at delivering a range of catering provisions including sourcing commodities and fresh produce. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with an estimated contract value of £1,900,000 GBP. The contract period is set to commence on 1 June 2019 and will extend until 31 May 2022. The procurement was carried out via an open procedure, and the delivery addresses are located in the South West region of England.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the food supply chain and catering services sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the Dynamic Purchasing System allows for various providers to be appointed. Additionally, businesses specialising in fresh produce, meat and poultry, and general groceries are encouraged to engage, given the nature of the lots outlined in the tender.

## Notice

Bristol City Council (BCC) wishes to create a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to support the delivery of the Council's range of Catering Provisions, to include the sourcing of catering commodities and fresh produce. It is BCC's intention to establish a 'pseudo' DPS comprising a range of different providers, supporting the delivery of the Council's Catering Provisions for example, but not limited to Bristol Schools, Care Homes and Parks. Lots 1-5 will be "single provider" lots, meaning following a competitive evaluation process only one provider will be appointed to supply the provisions specified under that lot. Lot 6 will be truly dynamic, where the buyer will be able to purchase from a range of suppliers for the provision and supply of fresh and/or seasonal produce, specialist, unplanned, prompt/immediate, low value, low quantity and/or allowing for end user or customer (buyer) choice.
