The contract falls under the industry category of School catering services and Transport services. The procurement method is an open procedure intended to establish a four-year framework agreement for courier services within the Glasgow area. The current stage of this tender is active, and the tender period is set to close on 8th September 2026, followed by the opening of bids on the same day. The Council requires reliable suppliers to meet high service standards, with necessary compliance in health and safety, vehicle checks, and insurance mandates. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in transport and courier services, especially those equipped to handle logistics for food delivery. The framework offers potential for business growth by partnering with a major public sector entity like Glasgow City Council. Companies with experience in providing sustainable, efficient, and secure delivery solutions and with a substantial fleet to offer robust service continuity are well-suited to compete. Additionally, suppliers demonstrating strong community engagement, such as fulfilling Community Benefit Points requirements, can enhance their competitiveness in securing this framework, thereby boosting their service portfolio and expanding market reach in the public sector. ## Notice The council is seeking to establish a 4-year framework agreement. The requirement to deliver food from production sites to import locations is partly due to certain locations not having adequate facilities within their premises to cook the volume of meals required. This requirement was previously delivered in-house by Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability (NRS), however over time NRS' capacity has reduced. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This will be a 4 year framework. The main objective for this procurement exercise is that the council requires the support of suitable Supplier(s) to deliver a robust and reliable courier service aligned to the council's objectives and maintaining the high standards required at all times. The Supplier(s) will be required to operate a high quality, safe, green, reliable, efficient and cost-effective service and have sufficient fleet size, type and capacity to meet the service requirements on behalf of the Council. The Council requires the Supplier(s) to deliver and uplift food containers from various Production Kitchens and deliver to various drop-off locations within the Glasgow catchment area. The Supplier(s) shall ensure food containers are delivered securely, intact and on time from Production Kitchens to drop-off locations as per the pricing schedule and returned to Production Kitchens. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075206-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 8 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 1DU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services - 60 - Transport services (excl.
