The framework agreement, a 4-year contract with no extension options, aims to serve all NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards, and relevant entities constituted under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, including all Scottish hospices. The contract, with a total estimated value of approximately £21.2 million, was signed on 28 February 2025. The framework is classified under the CPV code 15500000 and designed to be utilised by health boards across Scotland, with the delivery location specified as NHS Scotland. This multi-supplier framework agreement presents significant growth opportunities for large-scale suppliers specialising in chilled goods. The tendering process included an open procurement method, underlining the inclusivity and competitive nature of the contract. The awarded suppliers include Brake Bros Ltd, BFS Group Ltd T/A Bidfood, and Fife Creamery Limited. This creates a valuable opportunity for businesses within the food supply chain, particularly those with capabilities aligned with certifications such as the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety and other relevant standards. Such businesses stand to benefit from the stable demand generated by the NHS institutions and associated bodies covered by this framework agreement. ## Notice Renewal of a National Framework (NP783)to cover a full range of Chilled Goods Products.
