UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured catering disposables for delivery in the council’s area. The requirement covers catering foil, food bags, paper cups, cling film and disposable cutlery. It is a goods procurement for kitchen, household and catering supplies, including the associated supply and distribution of these consumables. The council is based at Town Hall and Civic Offices on Westoe Road, South Shields. The requirement was identified as Lot 5 of the wider Catering Disposables arrangement and relates to the council’s operational catering needs. This is a straightforward consumables supply opportunity rather than a works or specialist services contract, so it is relevant to wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers with an established range of disposable catering products and the ability to serve a public-sector buyer in South Tyneside.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. South Tyneside Borough Council made a non-competitive direct award under the NEPO502 framework, using a selective, below-threshold framework award route. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and awarded to LYRECO UK LIMITED. The award covers the catering disposables requirement and has a gross value of £240,000, with a net value of £200,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2030. The tender was evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender for this requirement; the record identifies the procedure as non-competitive. The awarded contract is active, and the tender itself is complete. No separate lot awards or alternative suppliers are recorded for this requirement.

This procurement demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for routine catering consumables across a broad product range, including foil, food bags, paper cups, film and disposable cutlery. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have dependable access to these products, consistent product quality and the operational capacity to fulfil repeat orders over a multi-year arrangement. Experience supplying councils or other public-sector organisations would help, particularly where purchasing must follow framework terms and controlled ordering processes. A credible competitor would also need reliable stock management, distribution arrangements serving South Tyneside and the ability to handle several product categories through one supply relationship. The route used here shows the importance of understanding and participating in relevant regional or national procurement frameworks, rather than relying only on open standalone tenders.
