## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by St Paul's Catholic School for the supply and distribution of Ambient, Chilled, Frozen, Snacks, Confectionery, and Soft Drink Products. Located at Phoenix Drive, Milton Keynes, the school undertook this procurement through the open procedure method, with Avendra International acting as the procuring entity. The process resulted in two active awards for Lot 1 and Lot 2, with Waterdene Foodservice being the awarded supplier. The total value of the contracts amounts to GBP 1,290,479, covering the period from 1st December 2025 to 19th October 2027, with an option to extend for an additional year. This procurement falls under the food and beverage industry category, and the legal basis aligns with UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender process offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in food and beverage distribution, particularly those capable of supplying a diverse range of products from ambient, chilled, and frozen goods to snacks and drinks. With a contract period that spans nearly two years and potential extensions, suppliers can secure long-term business relations with a sub-central government public authority. SMEs are notably encouraged to participate, as demonstrated by Waterdene Foodservice’s successful bids, highlighting the potential for smaller enterprises to thrive in competitive bidding scenarios. The contract values and the reputation of St Paul's Catholic School as the contracting authority make this an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to expand within the education sector and beyond.
