Tender description

The need to provide food for vulnerable citizens impacted by Covid-19 became apparent within a week or so of the Covid 19 crisis hitting and by early March 2020 the need for food supply across the city to try to meet rising levels of need associated with food poverty and the impact for those having to socially isolate or shield. There is a continued requirement for standardized and dietary food parcels. Lot 1: Due to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 Emergency, the city is facing an ongoing issue of food supply to vulnerable groups which, together with the associated adverse impacts, will intensify throughout the duration of the Emergency. The Council has received a Grant due to the resulting urgent need to deliver food parcels to vulnerable citizens who are shielding from the virus or facing food poverty as a result of the pandemic with the Council needing to act to prevent further hardship for these vulnerable groups.
