Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled “Food for the Big Norfolk Holiday Fun Programme S495188,” situated in Norwich, United Kingdom. The procurement, operating under the category of services, focused on catering services and involved a contract valued at £65,000, with a total gross value of £78,000. The tender followed a “Below threshold” procurement method and has reached the award stage, with a contract signed on 31st December 2024 and in effect from 1st January 2025 to 31st March 2026. Fresh Food for Now has been awarded as the supplier, with the opportunity published on 10th July 2025. The procurement process was regulated by the 2023/54 UK legislation.

This tender offers prospective growth opportunities for businesses specialising in catering services, especially those capable of handling contracts that serve community and governmental initiatives like the Norfolk Holiday Fun Programme. Large-scale catering firms are particularly well-positioned to compete, given the project's scope and the importance of meeting public sector standards and timelines. By engaging with such tenders, businesses can increase their foothold in public sector contracts, potentially leading to further opportunities with local councils throughout the UK. Existing providers of similar scale services might find this a lucrative extension to their portfolio, catering to a sub-central government public authority such as Norfolk County Council.
