## Summary

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council has successfully completed a tender process for the supply of fresh fruit and vegetables to its catering establishments. The procurement, classified under the goods category, was carried out using an open procedure. The contract, awarded on 19th January 2021, is valued at £175,000 and was intended for delivery six days a week, excluding public holidays, across locations within Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. The tender process attracted three bids, with a significant participation from SMEs. Although the procurement is now complete, it was structured to facilitate quality and competitive pricing, weighing quality at 60% and price at 40% in the award criteria.

This contract represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of fresh produce, particularly those capable of meeting the stringent quality and delivery requirements set by the Council. Companies with experience in serving institutional clients, as well as those that can manage regular, large-scale orders, would be well-suited to compete. The two-year contract included provisions for annual extensions, ultimately allowing for a potential five-year duration, which underscores the long-term relationship that could be developed with the Council. Therefore, businesses looking to expand into the public sector supply market should consider similar contracts as a pathway to growth.
