The value of the contract is estimated at £45,000,000, covering a period from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2033. The contract targets schools and other establishments within Derbyshire and neighbouring counties, as well as adult social care and health services, and includes support for Derby City Council. The procurement, classified under animal products and deep-frozen goods, follows an open procedure, allowing for maximum competition. The procurement was concluded with Holdsworth as the supplier, and it anticipates collaboration across regional locations, primarily in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large suppliers or businesses in the frozen food supply sector. Given the broad scope of the contract, serving both educational and social care establishments, companies experienced in large-scale logistics and diverse food product categories stand to benefit. The open procurement method encourages competition, making it an advantageous tender for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) seeking to expand into regional or public sector markets. ## Notice Derbyshire County Council (The Council) Children's Services Catering Service is seeking a single Supplier for the provision of the supply and delivery of frozen food for schools and establishments located within the geographical area of Derbyshire and neighbouring counties.\r \r This contract will provide frozen food to two areas of the Council as well as Derby City Council:\r \r * Schools located within Derbyshire and in counties that share a boundary with Derbyshire, that trade with Derbyshire County Council Catering Service. \r * Derbyshire County Council's Adult Social Care & Health Services will use this contract for the supply to residential homes for older people and day centres.\r * The contract will also be used by Derby City Council to supply products for their children's residential homes and homes for older people. \r ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93680f49-b072-486a-8337-7844ef3e6923 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | 15 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Apr 2025 | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2025 - 30 Apr 2033 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £45,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HOLDSWORTH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products ### Codes - 15100000 - Animal products, meat and meat products - 15200000 - Prepared and preserved fish - 15300000 - Fruit, vegetables and related products - 15400000 - Animal or vegetable oils and fats - 15500000 - Dairy products - 15896000 - Deep-frozen products ## Release History - 13 May 2025 at 15:35 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93680f49-b072-486a-8337-7844ef3e6923 - 13 May 2025 at 15:34 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55bfefcb-b2f7-42bd-8750-4d614081abb5 - 16 Sep 2024 at 14:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9931906f-6152-406a-bc74-8d552cfb24a4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93680f49-b072-486a-8337-7844ef3e6923 13th May 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55bfefcb-b2f7-42bd-8750-4d614081abb5 13th May 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9931906f-6152-406a-bc74-8d552cfb24a4 16th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d2effaf6-2474-ef11-812f-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
