Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Knowsley Council concerns the provision of drinks and confectionary to various Council premises. The process falls under the industry category of miscellaneous food products with CPV classification ID 15800000, and it is primarily located in the UKD3 region of the United Kingdom. As of April 29, 2026, the procurement stage is complete, having employed a limited method without prior publication for the contract award. The initiative is an extension of a previous competitive undertaking via the YPO framework. The contract, awarded to Totalserve Wholesale Limited, commenced on 1st February 2026, with an awarded contract value of £860,000 GBP.
