## Summary

Lancashire County Council has successfully completed an open procurement process for the supply and delivery of food and drink products, culminating in the awarding of a multi-lot supplier framework. This framework, under tender ID CR/CORP/LCC/24/205, started on 1st August 2025 and is scheduled to run until 31st August 2029. The estimated value of this framework is approximately £50,344,000 and caters primarily to the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically targeting educational establishments, residential care sites, and corporate sites. The procurement falls into the category of 'Food, beverages, tobacco and related products' and followed an open procedure above the threshold to ensure competitive bidding.

This procurement framework presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers in the food and drink industry. The framework is designed to be inclusive, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete and benefit. Successful tenderers, like Dunsters Farm Ltd and Morris Quality Bakers Limited, demonstrate that SMEs have been actively participating. Businesses supplying fresh food provisions, beverages, and related products would find this tender particularly suitable. The wide geographical coverage and potential participation from other public sector bodies such as Manchester City Council and Cheshire East County Council widen market opportunities, offering a robust platform for sustained business expansion over the contract period.
