Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work.

What the notice says

NHS Supply Chain: Food is planning to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply of products including but not limited to: fruit and vegetable products under the SFVS to be delivered to nominated distribution hubs in England. SFVS is a Government funded initiative that supplies a piece of fruit or vegetable to all key stage 1 children (ages 4-7) in England for consumption up to 190 days each academic year. The Framework Agreement is expected to be divided into lots. Final lot structure and scope will be detailed in the future tender notice. The current intention is to use a Framework Agreement. However, NHS Supply Chain: Food reserves the right to adopt a different procurement approach if deemed more suitable.
