What the notice says

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority has put in place a new Pan Government Collaborative Agreement for the provision of RM6279 Buying Better Food and Drink 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 is a national agreement developed to support a simple customer journey through an online single access point. 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. Additional information: This framework was put in place with an initial duration of 2 years plus an optional extension period of 2 x 12 month periods (2 + 1 + 1). Please note that the 2 x 12 month extensions have been utilised and the end date of this framework is confirmed as being 22/01/2028
