Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has completed the contracting process for the supply of meat and poultry, as part of their procurement activities within the goods category. The contract, identified as CU.2091.AR, falls under the industry classification of animal products, meat, and meat products (CPV: 15100000). Although the initial tender process for this procurement was planned, the final award was made through a limited procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, ensuring it could only be fulfilled by a specific supplier. This procurement process, part of the Technical Educational District (TED) framework, covers the UK region (UKL) and was finalised with the contract being signed on 23rd December 2025, for a value of £220,000 GBP.

This particular tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of animal products and meat. Given that Cardiff University operates within the public educational sector, suppliers with a robust capability to consistently provide high-quality goods under similar frameworks, such as TUCO, stand to benefit from similar future opportunities. Companies that are small or medium-sized enterprises, such as Douglas Willis Ltd., who secured this contract, can find themselves well-positioned to compete, particularly if they can provide specialised services or products that uniquely meet the buyer's stringent requirements. This award highlights the benefits of maintaining alignment with larger procurement frameworks and the potential for long-term collaborations with public sector institutions.
