## Summary

The North Tyneside Council has issued an award notice for an emergency contract titled "Emergency cover for Groceries including any Frozen Foods". This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically pertaining to food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract period running from 30th October 2017 to 26th January 2018. The initial tender period, which ended on 1st October 2017, involved a single tender method due to the urgent need following the termination of a previous contract. The total contract value was £1,448,574, and the services were primarily required in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply sector, particularly those specialising in grocery and frozen food distribution. Companies that are well-suited to compete include large-scale food service providers capable of responding swiftly to emergency needs, such as Brake Bros Foodservice Ltd, the awarded supplier. The nature of this emergency contract highlights the importance of flexibility and reliability in supply chains, making it a critical opportunity for established suppliers looking to expand their market presence within local government contracts.

## Notice

AWARD ONLY Due to the termination of the current Frozen Food contract by mutual agreement. The Authority requires the emergency supply of Groceries and Frozen Food across the Authority for business continuity and supplying all the school meals across the Borough with free school meals and prepaid school meals as well as supply of school meals outside of the Borough within current contracts. A procurement solution was agreed involving Procurement, Legal and Catering. This is an emergency award to enable a further emergency tender process to be undertaken with the initial Tendering suppliers involved in the initial procurement.
