Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council has completed a procurement process titled "Engagement of a Food Safety Contractor," focused on the services industry category. The procurement, conducted without competition due to being below the threshold, led to an award to Vivid Resourcing. The contract, signed on 1st April 2025, runs until 31st March 2026, with an optional six-month extension possible until 30th September 2026. Located in Pembrokeshire, with local oversight in compliance with Welsh devolved regulations, the process aligns with legal frameworks under UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement represents a strategic opportunity for businesses involved in supply services of office personnel, especially those specialising in food safety inspections. Although the procurement was a direct award to a large-scale firm, similar future contracts may offer room for competition, allowing SMEs to leverage regional and sector expertise for growth. Businesses with capabilities to efficiently manage temporary food inspection contracts should position themselves for upcoming tender opportunities in the Pembrokeshire area and the broader UK market.
