Summary of the contracting process

Kingston upon Hull City Council procured the supply of food ingredients for its catering and food-serving requirements in Hull. The requirement was arranged through the YPO Framework – Food Deal 2 1114, using its multi-category route. The procurement is classified as a service, with the published classification relating to restaurant and food-serving services. Turner Price Ltd, based in Hull, was appointed as the supplier. The requirement covers food ingredients across multiple categories rather than a single product line, making it relevant to wholesalers, distributors and catering suppliers able to provide a broad ingredient range for a local authority buyer. Delivery activity is associated with Hull. The council is the buying organisation and the appointed supplier is a large business.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Kingston upon Hull City Council made a direct award without publishing a prior competition, using the YPO framework’s multi-category route. The original appointment took place in 2023, and the stated rationale for the procurement was a contract extension. Turner Price Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 1 September 2026, at a value of £900,000. The contract allowed two optional extensions of 12 months each, subject to satisfactory performance and the council’s discretion; each extension was stated to be worth £900,000. The award procedure was evaluated on price, and one bid was recorded. The tender was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Kingston upon Hull City Council for a broad, multi-category supply of food ingredients rather than a narrowly defined product. A credible future competitor would need dependable wholesale or distribution capability, access to a wide range of food ingredients, and the operational capacity to serve a local authority catering requirement consistently. Experience supplying public-sector, institutional or large-scale catering customers would help demonstrate that capability, particularly where performance determines whether optional extensions are used. Suppliers should also be able to compete through a framework-based route and demonstrate competitive pricing, since price was the stated evaluation basis. The appointed supplier’s large-business scale indicates that capacity, resilience and reliable fulfilment are commercially important for this buyer.
