## Summary

North Ayrshire Council has conducted a procurement process for the provision of food vouchers for free school meals, targeting the period from 21st June to 15th August 2021. This tender, identified as NAC/STA/5074, falls under the goods category with a specific focus on food parcels in the UK, particularly in the North Ayrshire Region. The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract, worth £793,980, was signed on 4th June 2021. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with Sodexo as the active supplier for this contract.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of food products and services, particularly those specialising in food vouchers and meal provision services. Companies that are well-suited to compete include suppliers of food, beverages, and related products, especially those familiar with catering to educational institutions. The limited nature of the procurement process could encourage local suppliers to engage, as it may involve less competition and provide a clear chance to establish partnerships with local authorities like North Ayrshire Council.
