Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council, operating as a sub-central government public authority, has completed a procurement process for the "Food Newcastle Coordinator" project. The main procurement category is services, focusing on equal opportunities consultancy services under the industry classification CPV 98200000. The procurement process was conducted directly, without competition, as it was considered a "below threshold" activity under the UK's light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to Newcastle Foodbank, serving the Newcastle Upon Tyne area, with the contract term commencing on 20th June 2025 and concluding on 30th May 2026. This award was formalised without negotiation due to the supplier’s established presence and expertise in the required field and geographic area. The total contract value amounts to £49,897.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in equal opportunities consultancy and services related to strategic food planning and coordination. Companies with a robust foundation in these areas, particularly those skilled in devising and implementing comprehensive food system approaches, would be well-suited for similar contract opportunities. Businesses within the UK, particularly those oriented towards public sector contracts with local government authorities, could benefit by seeking out contracts requiring deep regional knowledge and prior established connections.
