## Summary

The North Tyneside Council has completed an emergency procurement process for the supply of groceries, including frozen foods, as part of their commitment to ensure business continuity for school meals across the borough. The procurement, classified under the CPV category of food, beverages, tobacco and related products, was initiated due to the termination of the previous frozen food contract. The contract, valued at £950,000, was awarded to Brake Bros Foodservice Ltd following an emergency tender process that involved original tendered suppliers. The contract period commenced on 30th October 2017 and concluded on 26th January 2018, with the official award notice published on 27th February 2018.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the food and beverage sector, particularly those with the capacity to supply frozen foods and groceries under emergency conditions. Companies that are well-suited to compete in such tenders include foodservice providers, large-scale suppliers, and those capable of meeting the specific needs of educational institutions. Engagement with public sector procurement processes, especially emergencies like this, can lead to valuable long-term partnerships and enhanced visibility in the market.

## Notice

A procurement solution was agreed involving Procurement, Legal and Catering. Using the original Tendered suppliers, an emergency Tender resulted in the most economically advantageous supplier being awarded.
