Summary of the contracting process

Recently, the Education Authority in Northern Ireland completed a procurement process for the delivery of milk and milk products to various educational facilities across the region. The contract, titled "Milk and Milk Products," falls under the industry category of fresh cow's milk, with a CPV classification of 03333000. The procurement process began as early as January 2022 and has since progressed to the award stage, as of September 2025. This contract is significant, extending from 1 August 2022 to 30 June 2026, and involves multiple lots covering areas such as Armagh, Ballymena, Belfast, and Omagh. The procurement method utilised was "limited," a procedure without a prior call for competition, due to unforeseen circumstances necessitating transitions in the original supplier agreements. Notably, Dale Farm Ltd secured the role of supplier as of 1 November 2025 for lots previously managed by Lacpatrick Dairies, who have withdrawn, ensuring no disruption in milk delivery to schools.

This tender presents various business opportunities, particularly for suppliers specialising in dairy products who can manage large-scale distributions under time-sensitive conditions. While existing players like Dale Farm Ltd have secured certain lot allocations, the configuration of this contract highlights opportunities for substitution and expansion whenever unforeseen supplier transitions occur. This procurement's competitive criteria, predominantly based on cost efficiency (85% weighting), coupled with performance management methodologies (15%), suggest that businesses focusing on cost-effective production and delivery might find significant opportunities here. Large-scale dairies with the capacity to quickly adapt to urgent supply needs and maintain quality standards are particularly well-suited to benefit from such frameworks. The presence of multiple lots across Northern Ireland also implies a stable demand, ideal for businesses looking to grow their footprint in the region.

Procurement Information

This is not an award without prior notice, the purpose of this VEAT notice is to make the market aware that EA intend to modify this contract as detailed below. The purpose of this VEAT notice is to inform the market that the Education Authority (EA) intends to add the following lots to the existing award held by Dale Farm Ltd, in accordance with the pricing, terms, and conditions set out in the current framework agreement. Lot 2 - Armagh Area 3 Lot 6 - Ballymena Area 4 Lot 7 - Ballymena Area 5 Lot 8 - Ballymena Area 6 Lot 12 - Omagh Area 1 The original award for the lots listed above was made to Lacpatrick Dairies under the existing framework agreement. However, Lacpatrick Dairies has formally notified the Education Authority of their intention to withdraw from all of the specified lots, effective 1 November 2025. This decision follows confirmation that Grove Dairy, the third supplier awarded under the framework, is not currently delivering milk in the relevant areas and has advised that it would not be operationally viable for them to take on the additional schools. As such, Dale Farm Ltd is the only supplier capable of fulfilling the requirements within the necessary timeframe. The additional lots are required to ensure uninterrupted milk provision to schools commencing 1 November 2025. The modification is being made under the principles of urgency and operational necessity and is consistent with the scope and structure of the original framework. The modification is necessary to maintain uninterrupted delivery of milk to schools from1 November 2025 onward and is justified under Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, which allows for contract changes due to unforeseen circumstances without altering the overall nature of the contract. The awarded contractor's withdrawal from the framework was an unexpected development that could not have been foreseen. No aspect of the modification will alter the overall nature of the current contract as the scope of goods will remain unaltered, and any expenditure will not exceed the original awarded contract value. Regulation 72(1)(b) permits an amendment to an existing contract: for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, or (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The EA shall observe a period of no less than 30 days, beginning with the day after the date of publication, before modifying the contract as set out in this notice.

The purpose of this VEAT notice is to inform the market that the Education Authority (EA) intends to add the following lots to the existing award held by Dale Farm Ltd, in accordance with the pricing, terms, and conditions set out in the current framework agreement. Lot 2 - Armagh Area 3 Lot 6 - Ballymena Area 4 Lot 7 - Ballymena Area 5 Lot 8 - Ballymena Area 6 Lot 12 - Omagh Area 1 The original award for the lots listed above was made to Lacpatrick Dairies under the existing framework agreement. However, Lacpatrick Dairies has formally notified the Education Authority of their intention to withdraw from all of the specified lots, effective 1 November 2025. This decision follows confirmation that Grove Dairy, the third supplier awarded under the framework, is not currently delivering milk in the relevant areas and has advised that it would not be operationally viable for them to take on the additional schools. As such, Dale Farm Ltd is the only supplier capable of fulfilling the requirements within the necessary timeframe. The additional lots are required to ensure uninterrupted milk provision to schools commencing 1 November 2025. The modification is being made under the principles of urgency and operational necessity and is consistent with the scope and structure of the original framework. The modification is necessary to maintain uninterrupted delivery of milk to schools from1 November 2025 onward and is justified under Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, which allows for contract changes due to unforeseen circumstances without altering the overall nature of the contract. The awarded contractor's withdrawal from the framework was an unexpected development that could not have been foreseen. No aspect of the modification will alter the overall nature of the current contract as the scope of goods will remain unaltered, and any expenditure will not exceed the original awarded contract value. Regulation 72(1)(b) permits an amendment to an existing contract: for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, or (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The EA shall observe a period of no less than 30 days, beginning with the day after the date of publication, before modifying the contract as set out in this notice."
