## Summary

The Bristol Catering Provisions Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) tender is currently being initiated by Bristol City Council (BCC) to establish a framework for sourcing various catering commodities and fresh produce. The total value of the contract is £1,900,000, and the tender period is set to end on 13 November 2018. The contract will primarily serve the South West region of the United Kingdom, focusing on the services sector, particularly catering for schools, care homes, and parks. This opportunity is classified under the CPV code for hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services and follows an open procedure for procurement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their business in the catering services sector. Companies that can supply fresh produce and catering commodities or offer related services will find this an advantageous opportunity to partner with a local authority and potentially secure long-term contracts supporting the community's needs. Engaging with Bristol City Council could foster growth and open doors to future contracts in the public sector.

## Notice

Bristol City Council (BCC) wishes to create a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to support the delivery of the Council's range of Catering Provisions, to include the sourcing of catering commodities and fresh produce. It is BCC's intention to establish a 'pseudo' DPS comprising a range of different providers, supporting the delivery of the Council's Catering Provisions for example, but not limited to Bristol Schools, Care Homes and Parks.
