## Summary

The Caerphilly County Borough Council has awarded a significant Framework Agreement titled "NPS Framework Agreement for the Supply and Distribution of Packaged Food and Beverages." This procurement falls within the food, beverages, tobacco, and related products industry category, with an indicative expenditure of £159 million over a contract period starting from November 28, 2017, and ending on November 28, 2023. The Framework will cater to various public sector bodies across Wales, including local authorities, NHS Health Boards, schools, and further education institutions. As a tender currently in progress, the framework allows for a diverse range of suppliers to participate in bidding for contracts within defined geographical zones throughout Wales.

This procurement presents ample opportunities for businesses in the food supply and distribution sector, particularly those capable of delivering packaged food and beverage products across multiple zones. Well-suited competitors may include large-scale suppliers and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialised in catering and logistics, such as food wholesalers and distributors. The flexibility of having multiple zones means that businesses can target specific areas to maximise their reach and service offerings, making this an excellent opportunity for growth in a recovering market.
