This procurement falls under the goods category and is classified under the CPV code for "Fruit, vegetables and related products". The tender is currently in the active planning stage, with submissions due by 12:00 noon (UK time) on 17 September 2021, and is based in Westminster, London. The total estimated value of the framework agreement is £2.5 million, and it allows for up to four suppliers to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs in the food supply sector, particularly those specialising in agricultural products, fresh produce, or catering services. The framework agreement will enable selected suppliers to receive monthly quotations designed to ensure cost-effectiveness for the catering services within the Houses of Parliament. Businesses that can provide a diverse range of fresh and prepared fruits and vegetables and are capable of timely deliveries would be well-suited to compete for this contract, ultimately enhancing their visibility and growth potential in a competitive public procurement landscape. ## Notice Our catering services meet the needs of a working House of Parliament and are used by a wide number of people, such as visitors, staff, journalists and police officers and not just members.This tender was sent to establish a framework agreement with 3 to 4 suppliers to provide daily deliveries of fresh and prepared fruits and vegetables for use in the catering and restaurant facilities across both Houses and will enable SME suppliers to compete for tenders.The nature of a framework agreement means that the estimated cost (in this case PS2.5M) is usually higher because that amount could potentially be split between multiple suppliers. However any supplier successfully appointed to the framework will be subject to monthly quotations to ensure any orders are given to the lowest priced supplier.Both the House of Lords and House of Commons routinely review their prices, adjusting when necessary, to ensure value for money to the taxpayer. ### Lot Information Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Wide range of fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs.
