Summary of the contracting process

The LTE Group, based in Manchester, executed a competitive procurement process to secure the "Call off from TUCO Framework Agreement: Supply and Distribution of Fresh Butchered Meat & Poultry." This tender falls under the goods category within the meat industry. The procurement process has been completed, with the award finalised on 30th December 2025. The procurement method was limited, utilising a pre-established framework that did not require prior publication. The geographical scope for this contract encompasses multiple UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, and UKL. The initial contract does not involve competitive tendering but benefits from an existing framework agreement, ensuring cost and time efficiency.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers specialising in the distribution of fresh and frozen butchered meats. The established strategic alliance with the LTE Group and their education-focused initiatives—such as providing catering services for Novus in education facilities—highlights the potential for suppliers to expand their operations within the public sector. Companies with capabilities in strategic supply chain management, especially those able to meet the logistical requirements across diverse regions, would be well-suited to participate in similar tenders. The £240,000 contract value indicates a substantial commercial opportunity for suppliers focusing on long-term partnerships and strategic alliances in the supply of meat and poultry goods.
