UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council has initiated a procurement process for the "Provision of Frozen Food," under the classification of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. This opportunity falls within the public authority sub-central government category with the procurement taking place in Sunderland, United Kingdom (UKC23 region). The procurement stage is at the tender cancellation, due to an error in the contract value figure, which means the original notice will be re-published. The contract, initially awarded on 6th August 2025, was to commence on 18th August 2025 and run until 17th August 2027, but has now been cancelled and will be revised.

For businesses in the frozen food supply industry, particularly large entities, this tender represents a chance to engage with local government procurement and cater to public sector requirements. The procurement method was selective, awarded under a framework, specifically Lot 3 of the NEPO 407 Frozen Food framework, suggesting a competitive bidding process. P.F.D.(CARLISLE)LIMITED was initially selected, implying that similar large-scale suppliers with robust logistical capabilities and prior experience in public sector frameworks could find significant growth opportunities by competing for such contracts. With the notice slated for republication, businesses should prepare to respond promptly to the revised opportunity.
