## Summary

Leeds City Council is seeking tenders for the "Supply of Groceries to Catering" contract, with a focus on locations including schools, adult social care establishments, children's centres, and commercial venues in Leeds. This procurement, valued at £6,750,000, falls under the "Food, beverages, tobacco and related products" category. Currently in the tender stage, the process invites open competition, guided by UK legislation 2023/54. Interested suppliers must submit enquiries by 27th May 2025 and complete submissions by 6th June 2025. The contract period is set from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2030, accommodating various regional educational and civic establishments.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of groceries, particularly those capable of broad distribution across various civic sectors.

Suppliers, especially those committed to high-quality products at competitive prices and who value collaboration with voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors, will find this an attractive prospect for growth. The procurement approach fosters fair competition, ideal for small to medium enterprises aiming to scale by leveraging substantial, long-term contracts with public authorities.
