## Summary

Northumberland County Council has completed the procurement process for the supply of fresh fruit and vegetables to the Council's restaurant at County Hall in Morpeth, located in the North East of England. This procurement falls under the CPV classification "Vegetables, fruits and nuts" and is described as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the TUCO Framework. The procurement method was selective. The tender was awarded on 2nd April 2026, with the contract period running from 10th April 2026 to 9th April 2027. The total contract value is £28,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the agricultural supply and distribution sectors, especially those focused on fresh produce. SMEs had the opportunity to participate in this selective process, though the award was made to a large-scale enterprise, Dole PLC (Total Produce/Mark Murphy). Companies that supply fresh produce and can fulfil framework agreements may find growth opportunities by engaging in similar tenders, leveraging frameworks to streamline the procurement process and secure steady contracts. The arrangement can provide consistent business for suppliers who can meet quality standards and delivery requirements.
