Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council has successfully completed the selective procurement process for the provision of single portion ready meals, a contract valued at £350,000. The procurement falls under the "Prepared dishes" and "Meals-on-wheels services" industry categories, with a focus on delivering to the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 29th May 2025 and will run from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2027. This process was initiated through a call-off from a framework agreement, allowing North Somerset Council to efficiently meet community meals service needs.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies capable of supplying prepared meals at scale. While North Somerset Council has selected Apetito Limited, a large-scale supplier, the contract setting suggests potential opportunities for local enterprises to engage with such frameworks in future rounds. Businesses within the food production and distribution sectors looking to expand their reach, particularly those focusing on solutions for local government and community services, would find this field particularly advantageous.
