This PIN is to engage with the market around the delivery models which could support both North Ayrshire Council and South Ayrshire Councils in the supply of milk to establishments such as nurseries and schools.
The PIN will explore supply and/or delivery models that will inform a contract strategy which will appraise the route to market and the supply and delivery model that is sought.
