UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is conducting a public procurement process titled "Supply of Ice Cream," in the category of goods, specifically targeting the supply of ice cream and similar products for its catering outlets, including Beaumanor Hall, Food Court at County Hall, and 1640 Cafe. The procurement took place under a limited competition method, specifically "Below threshold - limited competition," and is now in the contract award stage, having been completed. The awarded contract to Crowndale Foodservices Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), spans from 25 July 2025 to 23 July 2027, with the potential for two 12-month extensions, making its maximum duration through July 2029. The contract is valued at £25,000 gross, with a net amount of £20,000, and is signed as of 25 July 2025. The procurement activities are situated within the UKF22 region, in Leicester, United Kingdom.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in the food distribution and catering supply sectors, particularly those capable of providing quality ice cream products within specified delivery timeframes. SMEs like Crowndale Foodservices Ltd have shown they are well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially when they strategically align with localized, speciality product demands like those required by Leicestershire County Council. The contract allows business growth through expansion into public sector supply chains and establishing long-term relationships with governmental buyers. Companies poised to seize such opportunities typically possess logistical capabilities and a keen focus on meeting the regulatory standards set out by sub-central government authorities.
