## Summary

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland) seeking suppliers for a National Framework concerning Frozen Food products. This framework is designed for use by all mainland and island NHS Scotland Health Boards and Special Boards, covering a significant contract value of £14 million over a four-year period. Currently, the procurement is at the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 21 September 2021, following a competitive open procedure that allowed various suppliers to submit bids.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for food suppliers, particularly those specialised in frozen products. Businesses involved in the food industry, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger corporations, may find this framework particularly advantageous. Given the emphasis on quality and price in the award criteria, suppliers capable of delivering high-quality frozen food at competitive prices would be well-positioned to compete for contracts under this framework. The commitment to community benefits also highlights the importance of suppliers who can contribute positively to the local healthcare ecosystem.
