PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh procured fresh fish and seafood for its catering operation. The supply supports university catering, cafés, food outlets, conferences and events, with delivery for the university’s outlets in Edinburgh. This is a food supply requirement rather than a catering-services contract: the supplier provides fresh fish products for use across these settings. The procurement formed a call-off from a collaborative framework and was intended to replace an existing supply contract, maintaining continuity for the university’s food operations. The requirement covers fresh fish and seafood, classified under CPV 15211100.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Campbells Prime Meat Ltd. The award was made as a direct award to the first-ranked supplier under the collaborative framework, although the process is also recorded as using an open procedure. One bid was recorded for the lot. The contract value is £950,000. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and is recorded as active. The stated purpose was to replace the existing contract for fresh fish products. The award information identifies one lot, covering the supply requirement for the university’s catering outlets. No separate evaluation scoring or weighting is included in the procurement details.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from the University of Edinburgh, credibility will depend on the ability to supply fresh fish and seafood consistently across catering outlets, cafés, food outlets, conferences and events. The selected supplier was the first-ranked provider on the collaborative framework, and the procurement rationale points to continuity of supply and a proven level of service. A prospective competitor would therefore need to demonstrate dependable fulfilment across varied university food-service settings, alongside experience handling fresh fish products. This is a substantial institutional supply requirement, rather than an isolated delivery or a catering operation to run. Suppliers without relevant seafood supply capability or the capacity to support the university’s broad catering demand are less closely matched.
