## Summary

Scotland Excel, acting as a central purchasing body, is conducting a comprehensive procurement process titled "Supply and Delivery of Community Meals". This initiative aims to provide councils and participating entities with a framework for procuring healthy and nutritious community meals delivered to various locations throughout Scotland, including homes and council premises. The procurement method is open, and the process has been planned meticulously with a tender period that closed on 17 April 2019. Significant contracts have been awarded on 12 September 2019, with an estimated total contract value of £16 million for the entire framework.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses engaged in food supply and delivery services to expand their operations within the public sector. Companies specialising in catering, meal preparation, and logistics would be particularly well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in delivering services to local authorities or community organisations. The framework is designed to support various delivery methods, including bulk and frozen meal options, thereby appealing to a diverse range of suppliers capable of meeting the specified requirements.

## Notice

This framework will provide councils and other participating bodies with a mechanism to procure a range of well-balanced, healthy and nutritious community meals delivered to people in their own homes, community venues and council premises.
