## Summary

The Staffordshire County Council is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process for the "Supply & Delivery of Fresh Produce for Staffordshire Care Establishments." This opportunity falls under the category of goods, specifically food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. The tender is set to close on 18 June 2020, with an estimated contract value of £250,000.

The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1 October 2020 and will span four years, ending on 30 September 2024.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for local businesses, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their service offerings. Businesses involved in the supply of fresh produce, including dairy, bakery items, and fresh meats, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies that can demonstrate sustainable practices in food sourcing may find themselves more attractive to the buying organisation, as the council seeks to support quality and responsibility in their procurement efforts.
