In plain English

UKRI wants to buy a regular supply of food for their British Geological Survey office in Nottingham. They need a single supplier to provide dry goods, tinned food, chilled and frozen products on an ongoing basis.

What the buyer wants

• Supply and deliver food products (dry, tinned, chilled and frozen items) to the BGS Keyworth site in Nottingham on a recurring basis • Maintain consistent availability and quality of food supplies • Operate under a framework agreement terms for a single provider arrangement

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires a single dedicated supplier with established food supply infrastructure and logistics: most small independent traders without existing catering supply experience, cold storage capability, or food hygiene certification will struggle to bid competitively.
