Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan and District Council has concluded a procurement process for the "Supply of Sandwiches to Schools for Retail" within the Bradford District. This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically catering supplies, and was completed using a direct procurement method, bypassing competition due to being below the threshold. The award phase of the procurement commenced with the signing of the contract on 30th September 2025, leading to an active contract status from 1st October 2025 until 31st March 2026. TIFFIN SANDWICHES LIMITED, a large-scale supplier based in Bradford, has been chosen as the supplier, setting the scene for fulfilling the supply needs as per the agreement valued at a gross amount of £15,000.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of ready-to-eat foods that can cater to educational institutions. While this particular tender was executed without competition, similar opportunities might arise where businesses can leverage their local presence and expertise in serving institutional clients like schools. Companies capable of managing logistics efficiently to ensure timely delivery and those with existing networks in the educational sector would be well-positioned to compete for such future contracts. This tender underscores the importance of establishing strong relationships with local councils and understanding municipal procurement processes.
