## Summary

The procurement process, categorised under dairy products, is managed by Monmouthshire County Council. The Council is committed to providing milk, dairy, eggs, and associated services aligned with its ambition to achieve a zero-carbon county. This procurement, initially announced on 27th August 2024, underwent various stages with the most recent being completion on 26th May 2025. The procured goods cover multiple lots, including milk supply to diverse locations within North and South Monmouthshire. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, ensuring wide accessibility for interested parties. Key contracts were awarded in early January 2025, with significant suppliers like James Durose and CASTELL HOWELL FOODS LIMITED involved in delivering services for specified lots.

This tender offers substantial growth avenues for businesses, especially those within the dairy supply chain. It is particularly suitable for micro and small to medium enterprises given the Council's strategy to enhance supply chain resilience and social responsibility. Companies that specialise in sustainable dairy production and distribution can leverage this opportunity to strengthen their market presence. The Council's focus on socially responsible procurement provides an added advantage for businesses that emphasise sustainability and local sourcing as part of their operational strategy.

## Notice

The Council has previously procured its milk and dairy products as part of a wider collaborative framework. The Council is however keen to ensure that food procurement aligns with the Councils ambition to be a zero-carbon county and its wider policies for decarbonisation and socially responsible procurement. The Council has also undertaken a review of its supply requirements including lotting, supply chain resilience and distribution and delivery needs which has necessitated a stand-alone procurement process to reflect our revised needs. We have introduced an alternative lotting strategy to enable micro and Small Medium Enterprises to access this procurement process, to increase supply chain resilience for essential commodities and to reflect the distribution requirements and geographic extent of the County.
