This links with 2 two other procurements
- RM6131 Food which will contract with the food producers
- RM6227 Technology and Management Agent which will contract with the technology and management supplier who will be the customer point of contact
This online portal will be the only point of contact for buyers and the logistics suppliers will the initial produce from Suppliers, transport it to a consolidation hub, ensure the order is completely fulfilled and then deliver to the customer. The Technology and Management Agent (RM6227) will coordinate the whole of the order from food selection to delivery.
All suppliers to be appointed in a phased approach, with the pilot area suppliers activated first, following this, each region will be brought online when the agreement is activated nationally.
