Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council has contracted for the supply and distribution of sandwiches and associated products for its catering requirements. This is a goods procurement covering food products, delivered in Wrexham, Wales. The requirement was placed through Lot 1 of the TUCO framework for sandwiches and associated products, so the work concerns supplying and distributing these products rather than providing a wider catering service.

The contract was awarded to Tiffin Sandwiches Limited on 21 August 2026 through a direct award under the TUCO framework; the process was selective and non-competitive. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026. Its value is £160,000 excluding VAT (£192,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, in yearly increments, taking the maximum end date to 31 August 2030. One lot was awarded. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows Wrexham County Borough Council’s demand for a supplier able to provide and distribute sandwiches and related food products through the TUCO framework. A credible competitor for this requirement would need the product range, supply capacity and distribution capability to serve the Council’s catering needs over a multi-year contract, including any extensions. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that the requirement has been met by an established supplier, although the procurement data sets out no specific accreditation or technical qualification.
