## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has established a framework agreement (UKRI-3727) for the provision of food supplies for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Station and Ships. The procurement process, classified under the "food, beverages, tobacco, and related products" category, involves delivering dry, frozen, bonded, and non-food catering provisions to Harwich International Port in Essex. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 9 April 2025 for a value of £5,000,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply and logistics sectors, particularly those capable of providing a diverse range of catering-related provisions. With criteria focused on methodology, sustainable food strategy, waste reduction, and social value, businesses that excel in these areas are likely to be well-suited to compete. Turner Price Limited has been awarded the contract, but there may be potential future opportunities for similar framework agreements given the recurring nature of the BAS supply needs.
