This is a goods supply and delivery requirement covering both sweet and savoury food products, including high-quality industry brand names from reputable manufacturers. Products must meet UK regulatory and safety standards. The requirement is classified as food, beverages, tobacco and related products (CPV 15000000). Suppliers will need to support the catering and hospitality operations at two established Leicester cultural venues, providing the specified products and delivering them to the venues. The opportunity is relevant to food manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist confectionery suppliers with an appropriate product range and delivery capability. The process has reached tender: Leicester City Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 12:00 noon on 18 September 2026, and tenders had to be received electronically by 12:00 noon on 7 October 2026. The intended award decision date was 5 November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 January 2027 to 4 January 2029, with extension options allowing periods totalling no more than a further two years, to a maximum end date of 4 January 2031. The estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and SMEs are identified as suitable. Evaluation is weighted 70% price and 30% quality. This opportunity suits suppliers with an established food and confectionery supply operation, including manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors able to source and deliver a broad sweet and savoury range. Strong candidates will be able to offer recognised brands from reputable manufacturers, demonstrate dependable fulfilment across two Leicester venues and maintain consistent product availability throughout the contract. Suppliers must be able to ensure that products meet all applicable UK regulatory and safety standards, so robust product-control and compliance arrangements are important. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, which may make it relevant to regional food businesses with sufficient range, stock access and delivery capacity.
