Summary of the contracting process

The recent award involves Denbighshire County Council procuring the supply of sandwiches and related products for their schools in Wales. This contract, with an estimated value of GBP 400,000, falls under the industry category of "Prepared sandwiches" (CPV: 15811511). The procurement process was conducted through a selective method, directly calling off from the TUCO framework agreement. The contract period spans from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2029, following an award made on 1st April 2025 and published on 16th May 2025. The buyer, Denbighshire County Council, is based in Ruthin, Wales, with Ruth Jones as the contact person.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in food supply, particularly those equipped to handle substantial, long-term contracts typical of frameworks like TUCO. Tiffin Sandwiches, a large-scale business, has been named the supplier, suggesting that businesses of similar scale and capability in the food supply sector stand a good chance in such procurements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could also find selective opportunities if framework agreements or partnerships can be leveraged. This contract underlines the importance of being well-versed with frameworks that allow direct award procedures, providing efficient routes to securing similar contracts.
