UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council has procured the supply and distribution of sandwiches and associated food products through Lot 1 of the TUCO framework. The requirement covers the provision of ready-to-eat sandwich products and related items for the council’s catering needs, with delivery in the Wrexham area. This is a goods contract rather than a service or works requirement. The buyer is Wrexham County Borough Council, a Welsh local authority. The relevant product classification is CPV 15800000, covering miscellaneous food products. Businesses relevant to this requirement include food manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist catering suppliers able to provide sandwich ranges and associated products and distribute them to the council’s locations in Wrexham. The framework route means the council is purchasing against an established category-specific arrangement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Wrexham County Borough Council made a non-competitive direct award under the TUCO framework, using a selective below-threshold framework award process. The procurement comprised one completed lot. The award was made on 21 August 2026 to Tiffin Sandwiches Limited. Its value is £160,000 excluding VAT and £192,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option for renewal in yearly increments for up to a further two years, giving a maximum extent to 30 September 2030. The award is active, and a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 14 September 2026. The published outcome identifies Tiffin Sandwiches Limited as the sole awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates established demand from Wrexham County Borough Council for a substantial, recurring supply of sandwiches and associated food products through the TUCO framework. A credible future competitor would need dependable food production or wholesale capability, a suitable range of sandwich and related catering products, and the operational capacity to fulfil regular council orders. Consistent distribution to Wrexham locations is central to the requirement, so suppliers would need reliable logistics, delivery planning and order fulfilment processes. Experience supplying public-sector, education, healthcare or other institutional catering customers would help demonstrate that the business can manage structured ordering, product availability and service continuity. Suppliers should also be able to access the relevant TUCO framework route or an equivalent purchasing arrangement when this buyer’s requirement returns to market.
