## Summary

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has completed the procurement process for the "Supply of Fruit & Vegetables" contract under the open procedure method. This tender, classified under CPV code 15300000 (Fruit, vegetables and related products), aims to supply goods to 14 onsite catering outlets across its campuses in Southwell, Mansfield, Clifton, and the city of Nottingham. The contract, valued at £410,000 GBP, was awarded on 13th September 2024, with deliveries required to the specified campuses as per NTU's purchase orders. The procurement was overseen by Rachel Coates, contactable at NTU for further details.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in fresh produce, particularly those capable of managing consistent delivery schedules across multiple locations. The sole supplier requirement makes it particularly attractive for businesses looking to secure a long-term partnership with a leading educational institution. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), demonstrated by the successful bid from "Start Fresh", are well-suited to compete due to their flexibility and capability to meet the stringent quality and technical criteria, weighted at 70% for technical capability and 30% for price.
