Department of Vendée
Objective:
Purchase of high quality, organic agriculture

Five framework contracts were awarded for supplying food to 31 public colleges in the Vendée region of France in 2017. Four of the contracts were for 100% organic vegetables, fruit, dairy products, and other groceries. The final was for high-quality meat originating from producers with high animal welfare standards. Suppliers were encouraged to use a consolidation centre, which centralized deliveries and food processing, and is run by a social enterprise.
