Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council has conducted a procurement process through the Meal Concepts and Food-To-Go Framework for the "Innovative Catering" initiative, aimed at supplying schools in North Yorkshire with marinated chicken, pizza, and pasta products. The procurement falls under the industry category of Food, Beverages, Tobacco, and Related Products, denoted by CPV classification code 15000000. This process was conducted using a selective approach, with call-offs from a framework agreement, and concluded at the award stage with contracts awarded to suppliers on 31st January 2026, starting from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2027. The total financial value of these contracts amounts to GBP 125,220.36, with an option for a 12-month extension available from 1st February 2027.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises engaged in food production and supply. With a procurement method favouring small and medium enterprises (SMEs), businesses offering specialised food products tailored for educational institutions may find competitive advantage. The selected suppliers demonstrate the framework's diverse approach, accommodating both large establishments like TUGO Foods Ltd and smaller entities such as Chicken Joes T/A Love Joes. These contracts may benefit entities looking to expand their market presence within the UK, specifically catering to public sector needs in the education sector, allowing for scalability and long-term strategic partnerships with local councils.
