## Description
Portsmouth City Council ('the council') has awarded two contracts for the supply and distribution of dry, chilled, and frozen food to Adult Social Care sites in the Portsmouth Area as required.
The council are  establishing a Framework of two Suppliers in order to satisfy the council's best value duties. Suppliers will have the ability to update their framework prices on a monthly basis. Call-offs contracts (resulting in the ordering of goods) will be awarded following a process where the prices of goods to be supplied are compared across the two framework suppliers and the contract awarded to the supplier with the lowest total value.
The estimated value of the framework is IRO £145,000 per annum, and IRO £580,000 over the total four-year term.
The framework value is expected to remain in the region of the figure stated above however it may increase or decrease throughout the framework term subject to any known or unknown changes to budget allocation, negotiations regarding inflationary increases, variation of services, or addition of further associated services in order to meet changes in demand or delivery.
An accurate forecast cannot be made regarding the level of further funding, if any, that may become available, but it is not expected to amount to an increase of more than approximately 50% over the Framework's lifetime and would therefore initially offer an approximate figure of £217,500 per annum, £870,000 over the four-year term.
