Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured an extension to the NEPO416 framework for milk and dairy products. The requirement covers the supply of dairy goods through the existing NEPO collaborative framework, supporting continuity of service while NEPO develops a compliant replacement arrangement. The buyer is South Tyneside Borough Council, based at Town Hall and Civic Offices in South Shields. This is a goods procurement in the dairy products category (CPV 15500000). The arrangement relates to public-sector supply through a regional or local authority framework, rather than to construction, consultancy or other services. The named supplier, Embleton Hall Dairies, is based in Durham and is recorded as a large business.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Embleton Hall Dairies for the single dairy-products lot. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with price as the award criterion. The extension is for 13 months, running until 31 July 2027, and was intended to align this category with the frozen-food category while NEPO completes a further collaborative tender. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026. Its value is £300,000. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. One bid was recorded for the lot.

This requirement indicates sustained public-sector demand for reliable milk and dairy-product supply through a collaborative framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need established dairy distribution capability, dependable delivery and fulfilment operations, and the capacity to support continuity of service for a local authority framework customer. The evaluation was based on price, so competitive cost control, transparent pricing and efficient logistics would be central to competing effectively. Suppliers should also be able to work within NEPO’s collaborative purchasing arrangements and meet the operational requirements of supplying dairy goods at framework scale. Experience serving public-sector or institutional customers would help demonstrate the reliability and capacity expected for this type of arrangement.
