## Summary

The Shetland Islands Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the supply and delivery of fresh fish to various catering facilities, including schools, halls of residence, care homes, Islesburgh Cafe, and Sella Ness Canteen. This procurement, carried out through an open procedure under the industry category of general public services, is valued at an estimated £544,000 over four years. The procurement was initiated in June 2024, with the contract awarded in July 2024, and will run until July 2028. Notable dates include the tender submission deadline on 29 July 2024, and the contract start date on 31 July 2024. Delivery locations are spread across various council facilities throughout the Shetland Islands.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the seafood industry, particularly those specialising in the supply and delivery of fresh fish. With the multi-supplier framework agreement, businesses like Island Fish Shetland Ltd and QA Fish Ltd, both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), were selected as suppliers. The framework does not guarantee orders, but businesses included can benefit from potential call-off contracts, fostering growth and stability. Companies capable of delivering high-quality fresh fish efficiently should find this framework beneficial, as it reflects robust demand from public sector catering services, creating a stable source of revenue.
