    Brief

    This is a replacement framework agreement following RM6279 (Buying Better Food and Drink), which expires on 22 January 2028. The Government Commercial Agency manages less than 0.3% of the £4.9 billion total public sector food spend. The framework operates as a single supplier model, creating significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to enter public sector supply chains. Suppliers and buyers can add SMEs at any time through Buyer Unique Line terms for direct delivery to customers. This approach is designed to reduce barriers for SMEs accessing public sector food and drink contracts. The framework is open to all public sector buyers across central government, devolved administrations, and wider UK public sector organisations.
