## Summary

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Supply and Delivery of Ice Creams (PAN3171)" with the contract being awarded to South Lincs Foodservice Ltd. The procurement focused on the supply of various ice cream flavours to De Montfort Hall and Haymarket Theatre in Leicester. The procurement was conducted as an open competition under the below threshold category. The award was made official on 11 November 2025, and the contract runs from 17 November 2025 to 16 November 2027, with the potential for an extension totalling up to two additional years. This procurement falls under the "Goods" category, concentrating on ice cream and similar products within the UKF21 region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the food services industry, particularly those specialising in the production and distribution of frozen desserts. It not only allows businesses to build a relationship with a local government authority but also opens up possibilities for future contracts with public sector organisations. The open procurement method suggests a competitive environment but also implies a fair chance for small and medium enterprises to submit their bids. Companies with robust supply chains and capacity to consistently deliver high-quality goods stand to benefit the most from such opportunities, enabling business growth and expansion within the public sector market.
