## Summary

The procurement process for the supply and distribution of fresh fruit and vegetables, titled "RHUL-25020 Supply and Distribution of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables," has been completed. The contract was awarded to Fresh Connect Ltd under the TUCO Framework. This procurement, initiated by Royal Holloway and Bedford New College in Egham, focuses on the industry category of "Fruit, vegetables and related products" and covers the South East region of the United Kingdom. Key stages of this procurement included the tender period ending on 15th June 2025, and the contract period beginning on 18th June 2025, lasting until 17th June 2029. Although the procurement method is described as "Other," it represents a significant goods category contract valued at £380,000 GBP.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses who are able to supply and distribute fresh produce within the specified region, allowing them to engage with prominent institutions like Royal Holloway and Bedford New College. While the contract has already been awarded to a large-scale supplier, Fresh Connect Ltd, it indicates a trend in institutional procurement needs that can help businesses, particularly those with the capacity to manage large-scale distribution, to find growth opportunities in future similar tenders. Businesses specialising in fresh produce and capable of meeting substantial and ongoing demand would be well-suited to compete in this sector.
