## Summary

Birmingham City Council has undertaken a tender process titled "Food Supplies for the Shielded Vulnerable as identified by NHS," aimed at addressing the urgent need for food parcels for vulnerable citizens affected by Covid-19.

The contracting process is currently at the award stage, with an active contract worth £336,780 awarded to MKG (Food Products) Ltd.
