UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council, a sub-central government public authority, planned to procure the supply and delivery of frozen and refrigerated food, groceries, and fresh meat to various schools and commercial delivery points across Nottingham. This procurement process, identified as CPU 6172, aimed to establish contracts with qualified suppliers under an open procedure method. The tender, initially active until February 2026, was halted at the award stage on 27 April 2026 due to issues with pricing clarity and quality specifications, resulting in the withdrawal of Lots 1, 2, and 3. The Council plans to review and refine the procurement documents before determining the next steps.

The tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply chain of food and groceries, particularly those offering frozen or refrigerated products, fresh meat, or cupboard-stored groceries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were especially encouraged to participate given the suitable conditions outlined in the tender for such organisations. The procurement, which was suspended for revisions, represents potential for business growth in Nottingham, emphasising fair competition and social value in award criteria. Companies providing competitive pricing, high-quality products, and contributing positively to social value metrics would have an advantage in upcoming tender opportunities once revised specifications are released.
