The requirement covers the supply and delivery of meat to seven areas in Moray: Buckie, Forres, Fochabers, Speyside, Elgin, Keith and Lossiemouth. The procurement is for goods, classified under CPV 15110000 (meat), and is divided into area-based requirements so suppliers can target the locations they serve. Deliveries are intended for Moray schools, making this relevant to wholesalers, abattoirs, food distributors and other suppliers able to provide fresh meat in bulk and deliver across one or more of the listed areas. Community benefits form part of the requirement: bidders must confirm the benefits they would deliver if appointed. The process reached tender: Moray Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required. Bids had to be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 12:00 BST; the planned evaluation period began at that time, and bids were to remain valid for 90 days. The estimated total procurement value is £1,915,000 including the listed currency of GBP. The contract period for each area is 1,080 days, with the possibility of two further 12-month extensions. Seven area lots are available, and alternative bids are not allowed. Evaluation is weighted 60% technical quality and 40% price. A document access fee applies. The buyer may exclude economic operators under Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This opportunity suits suppliers with established capacity for bulk fresh-meat supply and reliable delivery to school catering operations in Moray. Bidders must provide at least two relevant examples demonstrating experience in the bulk supply of meat products. They must also hold, or commit to obtaining before the contract starts, employer’s compulsory liability, public liability and product liability insurance, each at £5 million. The buyer requires the last two or three audited financial statements as evidence of statutory compliance and financial standing, together with confirmation that no material post-balance-sheet event or other business issue affects that standing. Successful suppliers will need to support electronic ordering, electronic payment and the delivery of the confirmed community benefits. ## Notice Provision of fresh meat product for use by the catering service in Moray Schools. ### Lot Information Lot 3 - Fochabers Area Provision of meat products for the catering service in the Fochabers Area.
