## Summary

Forth Valley College bought fresh fruit and vegetables for its campuses in Falkirk, Stirling and Alloa. The supply was placed through the APUC Fresh Fruit and Vegetables framework, under its South-east Scotland lot covering Stirling, Edinburgh, Lothian and Borders. This is a food supply requirement for a further education college, with deliveries to several campus locations. The purchasing organisation is Forth Valley College.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. It was run as an open procedure through the APUC framework. Dole Ltd trading as Mark Murphy was awarded the contract for the single lot. The contract value is £70,000, and the contract was signed on 28 September 2026; its status is active. The process recorded one bid for the lot. The award information does not state a contract end date or duration, so no end date can be reported.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future fresh produce requirements, the evidence points to a multi-campus delivery operation serving Falkirk, Stirling and Alloa, within a wider framework lot covering the South-east of Scotland. A credible competitor would need to source and supply fresh fruit and vegetables reliably across several delivery points and work within the APUC framework route. The awarded supplier was a large business, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by a supplier with capacity for an institutional, multi-site account; this is not a formal size restriction. The single recorded bid suggests limited competition in this instance, but does not establish the buyer’s future evaluation criteria or required accreditations.
