The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with an open competition method set below the threshold. Interested suppliers need to submit their quotations by 5th August 2026, ensuring they meet all outlined requirements in the RFQ documents. The contract, valued at £80,000 net (£96,000 gross), falls under the goods category and is associated with the supply of prepared animal feeds among other related products. The enquiry period closes on 24th July 2026, which allows potential bidders to seek clarifications before submission.
