This procurement is of a Framework Agreement with one supplier by the Contracting Authority for the supply and distribution of ambient meals, in-cup drinks and related items to the Contracting Authority and the participating bodies (as detailed below) for use in police custody units. Accordingly, it is the intention that all the participating bodies should be able to rely on this procurement to purchase such goods without the need for any further procurement process.
Ambient meals must be suitable for storage without the use of refrigerators or freezers and must have a minimum shelf life of twelve (12) month's from the time of delivery.
All meals must be pre-cooked and individually prepared in containers suitable for reheating by microwave.
Meals under the Framework Agreement shall be suitable for a range of dietary, cultural and religious requirements such as vegan, vegetarian, halal, gluten free, lactose free and nut free.
The Framework Agreement also requires the supply of in-cup drinks, snack options, ambient sides, breakfast items and other related items. It is a key requirement that all items are suitable for use in a custody environment.
The 36 participating bodies which have expressed an interest in using the Framework Agreement immediately are responsible for policing the following geographical areas; Avon and Somerset, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cleveland, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, Durham, Essex, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Humberside, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Merseyside, North Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, Northumbria, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Thames Valley, Warwickshire, West Mercia, West Midlands, West Yorkshire, Wiltshire, Scotland, Dyfed-Powys, Gwent, North Wales and South Wales.
The 6 participating bodies who have expressed a desire to have access to the Framework Agreement during its term police the following geographical areas (or are commonly known by the names listed): City of London Police, British Transport Police, Police Service Northern Ireland, Surrey, Sussex and The Metropolitan Police.
No guarantee of warranty is given as to the nature of volume, if any, of the goods or call-offs, if under the Framework Agreement. It is currently envisaged, though not guaranteed at this stage, that Kent, Essex and 35 other Forces will start to use the Framework Agreement for their requirements once the Framework Agreement is in place.
