Description
Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority intends to put in place a new Pan Government Collaborative Agreement for the provision of RM6279 Buying Better Food to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations.
This will be a national agreement developed to support a simple customer journey through an online single access point; either using a single Tier 1 supplier, a consortium of suppliers, or Special Procurement Vehicle (SPV).
We are encouraging a consortium bid that can be made up of many small suppliers - all suppliers/producers will need to meet the minimum technical, ethical and policy requirements and Government buying standards for food.
Our initial contract value is estimated to attract £100 million worth of spend over the 4-year (2 + 1 +1 ) contract period, which is a small proportion of the annual £2.1 billion public sector food spend.
