This planned procurement involves the supply of fresh fruit and vegetables to various locations within the Leeds area, categorised under the industry classification for "Fruit, vegetables and related products" (CPV code 15300000). The procurement method chosen is an open procedure, signifying a competitive procurement process accessible to all eligible suppliers. The total contract value is cited as £7.8 million gross, with the contract period beginning on 1st September 2025 and potentially extending until 31st August 2030 if the renewal option is exercised. The tender is classified under the public authority - sub-central government, and the procurement notice was published on 9th May 2025, with a future notice expected on 10th May 2025.

This opportunity presents a lucrative prospect for businesses involved in the production or distribution of fresh produce, as the contract offers substantial financial remuneration over its potential five-year term. The open procurement method ensures that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a fair chance of competing, particularly those that can efficiently service the Leeds area. Businesses equipped to meet the demand for high-quality produce and capable of ensuring consistent delivery to multiple locations in Leeds are particularly well-suited to benefit from this contract. Engaging in this contract could significantly enhance business growth by expanding market share and establishing a robust presence in the public sector supply chain.
