This procurement focused on goods classified under the industry category of meat, with the contracts split into seven distinct lots: Fresh Beef, Fresh Pork, Fresh Lamb, Fresh Poultry, Frozen Meat Products, Cooked Meat Products, and Processed Meat Products. The procurement, governed by an open procedure, began in late 2024, with key dates including a tender closing extension to 16 January 2025 and a series of contract signings on 15 April 2025. The contracts are intended for a duration of five years with no extensions and cover the UK region, specifically Northern Ireland. The process adhered to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, including a standstill period for potential tender challenges. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the meat supply chain and related sectors. Companies specialising in fresh and frozen meat distribution, along with those providing processed or cooked products, are particularly suited to fulfil these contracts. The substantial contract values, spread across the seven lots, indicate a steady demand and potential for consistent business growth. With each lot valued up to several hundred thousand GBP, large-scale suppliers capable of maintaining rigorous quality control, effective contract management, and adherence to human rights and supply chain standards would find this an advantageous engagement. Although the suppliers' details are withheld for security reasons, the opportunity remains viable for those in compliance with procurement standards in the UK. ## Notice The Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS) is an Executive agency of the Department of Justice NI (DOJNI) and is responsible for the management of His Majesty's Prisons in Northern Ireland.
