The South East is a high-volume, polycentric market: county councils (Kent, Hampshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, East and West Sussex) run large highways, care and schools programmes, alongside dense district-council coverage, major universities (Oxford, Southampton), big NHS trusts and defence establishments around Portsmouth and Aldershot. County-run frameworks and shared procurement units (e.g. Hampshire's shared services) route significant spend.

What does CPV code 15000000 cover?

How do I win Food, beverages, tobacco and related products contracts in South East England?
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. The counties operate their own well-organised e-sourcing portals (Kent Business Portal, In-Tend and ProContract instances) — register on each county you can serve, because sub-threshold work is invited through them without appearing on national portals. County DPS lists for transport, care and construction admit new suppliers on a rolling basis.
