Decision details

The Cabinet Member considered the report of the Operational Services Director seeking approval for the acceptance of a Tender for the supply of frozen prepared meals for the Community Meals Service.

The report indicated that the current contract for the supply of prepared frozen meals was due to expire on 31 October 2010; that a contract with value greater than £500,000 required approval by Cabinet, that a number of alternative suppliers were considered as part of the tender process and the proposed tenderer offered the best value to the Council; and that the proposals were fully in line with the Council’s Procurement Strategy and the National Procurement Strategy for Local Government.

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet be recommended to award the contract to Tenderer No. 1, for the period from 1 November 2010 to 31 October 2013, with two further option periods of one year.
