## Summary

Derbyshire County Council, a regional authority based in Matlock, initiated a public procurement process for the supply and delivery of frozen food through an open procedure. The procurement, titled "CCS032 Supply and Delivery of Frozen Food," covers the industry category of animal products, meat and meat products, with a focus on providing goods to schools and establishments in Derbyshire and neighbouring counties. This procurement process, linked to Derby City Council and involving their children's residential homes and senior residential facilities, reached the award stage with an active contract signed on 25th April 2025, worth £45,000,000. The awarded supplier is Michael I Holdsworth Ltd, a large-scale organisation based in Tideswell, UKF region.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in frozen food and related distribution services, particularly those capable of meeting large-scale demand for educational and healthcare institutions. While a large firm was ultimately selected, opportunities remain for smaller enterprises to prepare for future tenders, possibly as subcontractors or by focusing on niche frozen food products within the industry. The requirement for goods across broader geographical areas encompassing Derby and its neighbouring regions also suggests potential for regional supply chain partnerships and logistical solutions to enhance service efficiency.
