How to win food, beverages, tobacco and related products tenders
Get onto the relevant DPS early — most public food buying now happens through them and joining is usually free and rolling. SALSA or BRC accreditation, allergen management evidence and reliable cold-chain logistics are baseline requirements; local sourcing and short supply chains score well since the Procurement Act put social value front and centre.
