Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of halal meat, a part of their hospitality and school services. The procurement fell under the goods category and was completed at the tender stage using a direct procurement method, with a process below the competitive threshold. Located in Leicester, the council sought supplies that would service the UKF region, beginning the contract period from 30th June 2025 to 1st October 2025. The supplier, Safy Impex Ltd, based in Birmingham, took on the contract which was valued at £75,000 net, with a gross amount of £90,000, as per the signed contract dated on 30th June 2025.

This tender opens up significant business growth potential, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the food and beverage industry. The contract presents an opportunity for suppliers dealing with food and related products to engage with public authorities and expand their reach into the educational and hospitality sectors. As it was a direct award without competition, businesses familiar with Leicestershire County Council's procurement process and those capable of meeting specific standards for halal products are particularly well-positioned to bid for similar future opportunities.
