Tender description
Lancashire County Council is seeking market feedback in relation to the future procurement of a framework agreement for the distribution of food and drink products to over 550 sites, predominantly schools and residential care settings. The contracted distributor will be responsible for receiving, warehousing, consolidating food supplies, receiving and managing orders, invoicing, and delivering food and drink products from multiple suppliers to Lancashire County Council sites, together with customer service, supply chain management and business continuity arrangements. Due to the increased delivery frequency and purchase volumes acting as a distribution anchor, the distributor will also be required to separately source, supply and deliver fresh fruit, vegetables and salad products as part of the framework.
