## Summary

The recent public procurement process conducted by The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire focuses on the provision of catering services for football matches and public order deployments. Situated in Wellingborough, this procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically targeting food and related products. This contract has been awarded using a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition, and it has already been completed. The awarding stage began on 1st September 2025 and will conclude on 31st August 2026, with an overall contract value of £20,808 GBP.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in catering and food supply.
