Overview

Hunter Ref - 7538

TUCO Ref - CAT11028-TU

The contract for Milk, Dairy, Bread & Morning Goods framework commenced on 24th October 2016 and will ran until 23 October 2020, this was then extended an additional 12 months (due to Coronavirus pandemic). 

The new framework agreement was allotted by HE/FE and Local Authority to provide more tailored pricing for these sectors as their needs in terms of delivery requirements do vary.  There are 18 suppliers over 6 lots:

•    Lot 1: Milk & Dairy HE/FE - 8 suppliers
•    Lot 2: Milk & Dairy LA - 9 suppliers
•    Lot 3: Milk & Dairy Fairly Traded HE/FE - 5 suppliers
•    Lot 4: Bread & Morning Goods HE/FE - 6 suppliers
•    Lot 5: Bread & Morning Goods LA - 8 suppliers
•    Lot 7: Artisan Cheese HE/FE - 4 suppliers

Lot 3 is a new “fairly traded initiative”, driven by the TUCO Sustainability Group, and guarantees to pay a minimum of 30ppl to farmers throughout the lifetime of the framework.

    Yes. Dependent on the product category, we will have assessed the supplier’s credentials to be able to supply the goods and/or services.  Please see the SQ (selection questionnaire) questions relative to the product category you are interested in.  High risk food suppliers e.g. sandwich suppliers are also continually audited to ensure they meet food safety requirements.
