OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University, acting as the buying organisation, has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the supply of meat and poultry. The contract, part of the education industry category, was carried out under a limited procurement method utilising the TUCO framework. This procurement method was selected due to the technical necessity of awarding the contract to a particular supplier, Douglas Willis Ltd., headquartered in Cwmbran, Wales. Notably, the contract was valued at £220,000 and was signed on 23rd December 2025. The procurement covered the region of UKL and fell under the main procurement category of goods.

This contract presents significant opportunities for SMEs, such as Douglas Willis Ltd., which successfully secured the award. Businesses specialising in meat and poultry supply with capabilities to meet educational institutions' specific needs and frameworks, like TUCO, are well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. By aligning with such frameworks, suppliers can access a streamlined procurement process and potentially secure stable, long-term partnerships with major educational institutions like Cardiff University.
