Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is buying official food-control services for Leeds and Bradford: inspections of food premises and delivery of official food interventions. The work covers environmental quality control and food hygiene, supporting the councils’ oversight of food businesses. It is a single-provider service for both councils, with Leeds City Council acting as the buyer. Delivery is required across Leeds and the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. This is a specialist local-authority service combining regulatory food interventions with premises inspection, rather than a general environmental health or consultancy commission.

The procurement has been awarded to Osborne Richardson, with the award recorded as pending. One supplier bid for the single lot. The award date was 21 October 2026 and the awarded value is £488,000 gross. The planned award contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially extending the period to 31 October 2030. The tender used an open procedure and formed a framework agreement with competition reopened for call-offs. The tender deadline was 29 July 2026, and the stated evaluation criterion was the Price Quality Separator, weighted at 100%.

This award shows demand from Leeds and Bradford for a single provider able to deliver official food interventions and food-premises inspections across both council areas. A credible future competitor would need operational capacity to cover both cities and the professional capability to carry out food hygiene inspections and environmental quality-control work to the councils’ requirements. The combined regional footprint favours suppliers able to organise a consistent service across a substantial portfolio of food premises, while maintaining the expertise required for local-authority regulatory interventions. The process attracted one bid, and the successful supplier was a large organisation; this indicates the scale and delivery challenge faced by competitors, rather than a requirement that bidders be large.
