## Summary

South Lanarkshire College, based in East Kilbride, Glasgow, has completed a procurement process for the provision of fresh fruit and vegetables. The procurement pertains to the education sector and is categorised under goods within the UKM95 region. The process reached the award stage, with the contract valued at £30,000. The procurement method employed was a limited one, specifically a direct award to the first-ranked supplier on Framework CAT1068 AP, Lot 5, with McLays Ltd being awarded the contract. This direct award was finalised with the contract being signed on 10th January 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of fresh produce, particularly those with strong existing frameworks or direct award capabilities. While this specific contract has already been awarded, similar procurement processes could benefit small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) able to demonstrate reliability and competitive pricing. Companies in the agriculture or food supply sectors could find expansions in educational institution contracts promising, as they align with consistent supply chain requirements and potential for long-term business growth through recurring contracts.
