## Summary

Trafford Council is seeking suppliers through an open tender process for the "Supply and Delivery of Groceries/Chilled Foods and Frozen Foods" as part of a framework agreement for the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA). The tender includes two Lots: Lot 1 for Groceries/Chilled Foods and Lot 2 for Frozen Foods, with a total contract value of £37,200,000, spanning from July 13, 2015, to June 30, 2019. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the awarded contract dated July 5, 2015. Suppliers are required to submit prices for all products within the Lots they choose to tender for, and the tender has a historical deadline that has already passed.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses involved in the supply of food products, including groceries and frozen goods, targeting educational and social care establishments within Greater Manchester. Companies that can meet the requirements of the tender, particularly those capable of delivering to multiple AGMA member councils such as Bolton, Stockport, and Manchester, would be well-positioned to compete. Businesses with the capacity to fulfil large volume orders and maintain stringent supply standards will find this framework agreement beneficial for expanding their market presence in the region.
