## Summary

The Orkney Islands Council is currently involved in a procurement process titled "Catering Contracts Framework," aimed at establishing a framework for the supply and delivery of various catering products across authority establishments in Orkney. This procurement falls under the goods category and is being conducted through a selective method with the related processes expected to last four years. The deadline for submissions was on 19th October 2018, with key items across eight lots, including fresh milk, fruit and vegetables, fish, bakery goods, and dairy products. The framework will enable further competition among shortlisted suppliers, reflecting a collaborative approach with NHS Orkney, located in Kirkwall, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply industry, particularly those specialising in catering products, including SMEs focused on fresh produce and dairy. Suppliers capable of delivering consistently high-quality products with an emphasis on timely delivery are particularly well-suited to participate. The framework presents a chance for established local suppliers and new entrants to the market to secure contracts, foster relationships with public entities, and contribute positively to community efforts, potentially enhancing their market presence in the Orkney region.

## Notice

Orkney Islands Council has a requirement for the supply and delivery of catering products to a number of authority establishments throughout Orkney for a period of 4 years with contracts to be awarded via a framework agreement to be established with contracts to be awarded following further competition for eight lots : Lot 1 - Fresh Milk, Lot 2 - Fresh Fruit, Vegetables and Potatoes, Lot 3 - Fresh Fish, Lot 4 - Fresh Butchers Meat, Lot 5 - Bread and Morning Goods, Lot 6 - Frozen Food, Lot 7 - Groceries and Provisions and Lot 8 - Dairy Products. It is anticipated that a single supplier will be awarded a contract for each Lot, for Lots 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 8, and a maximum of two suppliers to be awarded a contract for Lot 7 only. The framework will be established in collaborative with Orkney Islands Council and NHS Orkney (Balfour Hospital).
