Classified under the CPV code 15000000, this procurement falls within the food, beverages, tobacco, and related products category. The procedure follows an open method and is part of a National Framework Agreement covering multiple NHS Boards across Scotland, including islands. The contract, active as of 16th September 2025, runs for three years with the option of an additional year extension, culminating in opportunities for various suppliers. The procurement stage was completed, with a notable emphasis on the award criteria focusing 80% on price and 20% on service quality, targeting NHS facilities across regions such as NHS Fife and NHS Grampian. This agreement signifies an indicative total contract value estimated around 2,059,419 GBP per annum, ensuring extensive provision to Scottish Health Boards and Integrated Joint Boards. Business growth opportunities stem from this multi-supplier, ranked framework, which applies a strategy conducive to SMEs and larger suppliers alike, as evidenced by inclusion in lots like NHS Ayrshire & Arran and NHS Lothian. Suppliers achieving success in such frameworks enhance their reach and potential for recurring business with the public sector, given the contract’s provincial and comprehensive scope. Businesses well-suited for participation are those with capabilities in efficiently supplying bulk orders while maintaining stringent quality standards, as set forth by recognised certificates in food safety. This tender facilitates opportunities for growth via value-based and wide-reaching supplier engagement, crucial for entities in the goods supply chain focusing on food and related products. The contract supports community benefits and could stimulate supplier innovation in serving NHS-related requirements, potentially yielding ancillary benefits across the local supply chain. ## Notice Renewal of a National Framework (NP775)to cover a full range of Prepared Vegetables and Potato Products, Fresh Fruit and Vegetables. ### Lot Information NHS Dumfries & Galloway A range of Prepared Vegetables and Potato Products, Fresh Fruit and Vegetables to be used by patient, staff and visitors across Scotland, multi supplier ranked framework.
