## Summary

The North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) has initiated a tender for a framework agreement titled "NEPO413 Catering Disposables." This procurement, classified under the goods category with a CPV code of 39222100, is aimed at supplying disposable catering supplies to various establishments across the UK and beyond, including British Overseas Territories and Channel Islands. The tender was published on 1st November 2016, with responses due by 17th November 2016. Following the impact of COVID-19, NEPO has decided to extend existing agreements for an additional six months to expedite the procurement of urgent requirements, with the current contract period spanning from 1st February 2017 to 31st July 2021. The procurement method is described as an open procedure with a total estimated contract value of £350,000.

This opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the supply of catering disposables, as NEPO has marked this contract to be accessible for SMEs. Businesses that can successfully demonstrate capacity for supplying disposable items, especially those that can navigate the supply chain challenges heightened by the ongoing pandemic, stand to benefit significantly. NEPO's focus on expediting procurement processes may offer additional advantages for agile suppliers capable of meeting urgent demands. Interested parties are encouraged to engage promptly to capture this significant opportunity for business growth.

## Notice

The North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is inviting responses from tenderers for a framework agreement for the supply of Catering Disposables to be delivered direct to establishments. Additional information: Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, NEPO believes that the first condition set out in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the framework agreement. NEPO have taken the decision to extend the existing framework agreements that were due for reprocurement for a period of six (6 months). This is to enable NEPO resource to be diverted to procuring urgent requirements to deal with COVID-19 consequences and to relieve pressure on the supply chain while short staffed, to enable businesses to continue to deliver services and goods to customers. NEPO intends to deliver replacement framework agreements as quickly as possible after the initial COVID-19 impact.
