Other Information

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. https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022276-2023 Contract Notice rights reserved for Crown Commercial Service Framework Agreement v2.0 (2).docx Contract Notice Transparency Information for Crown Commercial Service Framework Contract (3).docx RM6279 Attachment 1a - Framework Schedule 1 (Specification).docx RM6279 Attachment 2 - How to bid v1.0.docx RM6279 Attachment 2b - Award Questionnaire v1.0.doc RM6279 Attachment 2e - PPN 06_21 Carbon Reduction Plan template v1.0.docx RM6279 Attachment 3 - Price Matrix v1.0.xlsx RM6279 Attachment 4a - Information and declarations_Consortium v1.0.xlsx RM6279 Attachment 4b - Information and declarations_Key Subcontractors_Guarantors v1.0.xlsx RM6279 Attachment 5 - Financial Viability Risk Assessment Instructions v1.0.docx RM6279 Attachment 5a - Financial Viability Risk Assessment Tool (Gold) v1.0.xlsx RM6279 Attachment 6 - Consortia details v1.0.xlsx RM6279 Attachment 7 - Key subcontractor details v1.0.xlsx RM6279 - Core Terms.docx RM6279 - Framework Award Form.DOCX Call Off Schedules.zip Framework Schedules.zip Joint Schedules.zip Contract Notice Authorised Customer List RM6279 (1).docx RM6279 Attachment 1 - About the Framework v1.0.docx
