UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council intends to buy fresh raw meat and cooked chilled meat for catering operations across the city. This is a supply contract for meat products, serving the Council’s catering requirements. Delivery and use are associated with Leeds; the procurement does not identify more specific delivery sites. The planned scope covers both uncooked fresh meat and meat that has been cooked and chilled, so it is relevant to suppliers able to provide one or both product types. The Council is the buyer and is planning a single-lot procurement. The requirement is for goods rather than works or a service contract.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Leeds City Council has stated an intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender at this stage. The Council expects to use an open procedure. It anticipates publishing the next procurement notice on 1 February 2027; this is a planned notice date, not a bid deadline. The planned contract period runs from 1 August 2027 to 31 July 2029, with a possible extension to 31 July 2031. The estimated value is £2.68 million excluding VAT, or £3.216 million including VAT. The procurement is organised as one lot, and its stated value is above the relevant threshold.

The requirement is aimed at suppliers in the fresh meat and cooked chilled meat supply market, including businesses able to serve catering operations across Leeds. Both product categories are within scope, so suppliers specialising in either may find the planned requirement relevant. The Council has indicated that the single lot is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially accessible to suppliers beyond the largest national operators. Suppliers should consider whether they can meet a city-wide catering supply requirement across the planned contract period and provide fresh raw and/or cooked chilled meats. The procurement is still being planned, so relevant suppliers can use this stage to prepare for the subsequent competition.
