## Summary

Somerset County Council is leading a tender process for a Framework Agreement dedicated to the supply of food produce to various council properties, including meat, fish, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and kitchen supplies. This contract, which is valued at £2,000,000, falls under the goods category and is part of the open procurement method. Key dates include the tender period, which closes on 19 November 2018, and the contract period set to commence on 1 March 2019 and conclude on 28 February 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply industry, particularly local suppliers who can provide fresh produce and reduce food miles.

Companies capable of meeting quality standards for food production and delivery would be ideally suited to compete for this contract.
