    Brief

    This opportunity involves extending the NEPO407 framework agreement for food and general provisions catering services for an additional 13 months through 31 July 2027. The extension aligns all category areas with the frozen food category timeline and provides NEPO (North Eastern Procurement Organisation) adequate time to develop and tender a fully compliant collaborative procurement solution. This arrangement ensures uninterrupted service provision for catering services while NEPO prepares a new comprehensive framework agreement. Suppliers currently operating under this framework should note the extended deadline and anticipated transition to a new tendering process.
