Lot 2 – Provision and Distribution of School Milk Cork (Min. of 75 percent cover) Lot 3 – Provision and Distribution of School Milk Kerry (Min. of 75 percent cover) Lot 4 – Provision and Distribution of School Milk. Since 1977, EU Member States have access to Community aid through the EU School Milk Scheme (SMS) for providing children in educational establishments with milk and certain milk products. From an overarching EU perspective, the SMS has two core objectives: 1. Increasing EU milk consumption and milk demand to fight the declining trend and stabilising the market price for milk and milk products. 2. Increasing consumption of milk and milk products of children and young people by providing them with healthy dairy products. The full suite of requirements is contained within the tender documents.
