Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council bought frozen foods for public-sector use, covering the supply of frozen food products rather than works or a service. The requirement is classified under CPV 15896000, covering frozen products. It was a single-lot purchase and delivery is associated with Stirling. The selected supplier is William Yule & Son Limited, based in Kirkcaldy. The buyer is Stirling Council, a local authority responsible for public services in the Stirling area. This opportunity is therefore relevant to food wholesalers, frozen-food distributors and manufacturers able to supply a public-sector customer with a broad frozen-food requirement, rather than to firms providing catering, kitchen equipment or general facilities management. The procurement concerns goods supply and ongoing fulfilment for the council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Stirling Council used a limited procedure: a direct award without prior publication of a competition, made through the Scotland Excel Frozen Foods framework, reference 0825. One electronic bid was recorded and the contract was awarded to William Yule & Son Limited for the single frozen-food lot. The contract is active and was signed on 6 July 2026. Its value is £653,000. The contracting process was recorded on 22 July 2026. The award was made under a framework route, with the procurement classified as outside the scope of the relevant directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate award date or contract end date is stated in the procurement record.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from Stirling Council for a substantial, recurring frozen-food supply. A credible competitor would need reliable access to a broad range of frozen products, dependable stock availability and the operational capacity to fulfil council requirements consistently across the contract. Experience of public-sector supply, framework purchasing and the compliance needed for institutional food distribution would strengthen a future offer. Suppliers should also be able to manage electronic procurement processes and provide robust delivery, order handling and service continuity. The selected supplier’s large-business classification indicates that scale, logistics and fulfilment capability were relevant to competing for this requirement. Food wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers with comparable capacity are the closest potential competitors.
