Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Council procured food provision for its FUEL Summer 2026 programme in Wiltshire. The requirement is a food service centred on meal-cooking services, intended to provide food during the summer programme. The procurement is categorised as services and was arranged as a single requirement. Work is delivered in Wiltshire, under the council’s responsibility as the public-sector buyer. The selected supplier, Events Horizon, is a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Nunney near Frome. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses that prepare and provide meals for council-led or community summer programmes, particularly suppliers able to operate across Wiltshire and organise food provision for a defined seasonal service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Events Horizon. Wiltshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. The award was made on 15 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £127,040 excluding VAT, or £158,800 including VAT. The contract record covers 15 July to 2 September 2026; the award record gives the service period as 6 August to 2 September 2026. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competitive tendering. Events Horizon is the sole awarded supplier, and the award is recorded as active while the tender is complete.

This award shows a defined requirement from Wiltshire Council for prepared food and meal-cooking services to support its FUEL summer programme. A credible future competitor would need to provide organised food production and delivery for a council-led seasonal programme in Wiltshire, with sufficient operational capacity to serve the required programme period. Experience of meal provision, reliable fulfilment and the ability to manage a time-limited public-sector food service would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a smaller business rather than necessarily requiring a large national catering operation. Suppliers should also understand how to pursue below-threshold direct-award or other council procurement routes.
