This initiative aims to address the needs of Central Government Departments and all UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities and Health Services. Key activities include market engagement to develop the appropriate commercial solution, with an introductory webinar scheduled for 14th September 2021. As of now, the procurement is in the planning stage, with further details to be confirmed in the upcoming Contract Notice, expected by 31st March 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food and drink sector, particularly those focused on sustainable production and local sourcing. Companies that can meet The Government Buying Standards for Food and demonstrate social value, resource efficiency, and diversity will be well-placed to compete. The engagement process is particularly suited for SMEs that supply a range of food products, from agricultural produce to catering services, providing a chance to enhance their visibility and build relationships within the public procurement space. ## Notice Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority intends to put in place a pan Government Collaborative Agreement for the provision of Food & Drink to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations The final structure of this procurement vehicle (including any use of a Dynamic Purchasing System) will be determined as a result of the engagement process, and will be confirmed within the Contract Notice ### Lot Information Lot 1 This PIN replaces the previous three stage procurement process initially planned by CCS.
