## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Local Produce - Meet the Buyer Events." This initiative is focused on the food and beverage industry category, aiming to establish a framework agreement for goods and services. Key dates include a scheduled engagement milestone by 9th March 2026, with the future tender notice expected by 31st March 2026. The process is initiated as a tender, and the buyer plans to host meet-the-buyer events prior to formalising the procurement later in the year, covering locations across the United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity offers a promising platform for businesses, particularly SMEs, in the food and beverage sector to connect with the North Yorkshire Council. Due to the scale and scope of the framework agreement, valued at £204,000, businesses with a capacity for supplying food, beverages, and related products stand to benefit. Participation in the upcoming meet-the-buyer events will provide a strategic advantage for suppliers looking to secure a position in the council’s expansive procurement framework, fostering potential growth and new partnerships in public sector contracts.

## Notice

North Yorkshire Council (the Authority) are seeking to invite interested suppliers to one of two meet the buyer events the Authority is delivering prior to undertaking a procurement later in the year for a food and beverage provision framework.
