Description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority intends to put in place a 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 an agreement managed with a single access point, using a single Tier 1 supplier as an umbrella to simplify the customer journey. This agreement will cover all public sector customers and all food and drink sub-categories, and we welcome the opportunity for single supplier's, a consortium or Special Procurement Vehicle (SPV) style approach to meet these requirements.

Our initial Contract value is estimated up to £100 million, and will be confirmed at Contract award.

CCS will be holding a Supplier Engagement Day in London on Wednesday 12th October 2022 to share our approach and project plan along with initial feedback.
