Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Synchronicity Care Limited is buying frozen food products for its Catering Department, classified broadly as food and related products. The requirement covers the supply of frozen foods for delivery in the North East of England. The purchasing organisation is Synchronicity Care Limited, based in Peterlee. This is a goods contract rather than a service or works opportunity. The stated framework category is Frozen Foods, covering products supplied through the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation framework. The requirement is relevant to food wholesalers, frozen food distributors and suppliers able to support catering operations across the North East. The selected supplier, Turner Price Ltd, is based in Hull and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an SME-scale food supplier.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Synchronicity Care Limited used a selective call-off from the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation Framework 1114, Category 2, Frozen Foods, without reopening competition. The contract was awarded to Turner Price Ltd on 27 July 2026 for £112,643.94 excluding any stated tax treatment. The contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 6 August 2028, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. The framework category is stated to expire on 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open competition, and the award is recorded as active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear benchmark for supplying frozen food to a healthcare catering department. A credible competitor would need dependable wholesale or distribution capacity, a suitable range of frozen food products and the operational ability to deliver consistently across the North East. Experience serving institutional, healthcare or large-scale catering customers would strengthen a future proposition, particularly where continuity of supply, order fulfilment and product availability matter. Suppliers should also understand how to access and operate through relevant public-sector purchasing frameworks, since this buyer used a framework call-off without competition. SME-scale businesses can be credible competitors, provided they can demonstrate reliable logistics, product quality and capacity for the required contract scale.
