In search of a supplier of cakes, snacks, soft drinks and confectionery? This updated Convenience Retail purchasing framework provides a new, compliant route to market, having launched earlier this summer.
Convenience Retail is among the compliant procurement solutions provided by our partners at TUCO, with CPC members entitled to free TUCO membership, which can then act as a gateway to use of this five-lot framework.
The Confectionery, Snacks and Soft Drinks lot leads the way with a healthy selection of ten different suppliers, while the dedicated Cakes lot serves up seven, the metaphorical icing on the cake for those with a sweet tooth!
With non-food retail options on top of this, a one-stop shop is additionally available, making the 2024 framework a comprehensive resource for education establishments looking to procure various Convenience Retail products.
Established in line with present procurement regulations, the TUCO framework brings the same kind of time-saving structure and value-driving competition delivered by our in-house offerings and is similarly easy to use, with a framework-specific user guide available, as well as professional Contract Manager guidance and support.
With its scheduled lifespan stretching from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2028, readers interested in learning how to utilise/engage with this framework are encouraged to get in touch with CPC Contract Manager, Lisa O' Shea, who will be able to provide additional information.
