## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council is exploring a kitchen management solution and associated hardware for use in schools and corporate sites across North Yorkshire. The system would support kitchen operations and be used centrally to maintain recipes, analyse nutrition and control allergen information. The requirement combines software and IT services with equipment such as tablets. Suppliers may therefore need to provide an integrated system, hardware and the associated implementation or support services. The council is seeking market input to understand available solutions and shape the scope of a potential future procurement. This is an early-stage requirement: the council has not yet invited tenders.

The process is at planning, and the council is conducting preliminary market engagement to assess feasibility, identify the range of solutions and help draft a future specification. The stated estimated value is £245,500 excluding VAT (£294,600 including VAT). The expected contract term is 1 March 2028 to 28 February 2030, with an option to extend to 28 February 2031. The council expects to publish a future procurement notice by 1 February 2027; this is an indicative date, not a bid deadline. The requirement is presented as a single package and is marked as suitable for SMEs. No award criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are set out at this planning stage.

This requirement may suit software suppliers specialising in kitchen or catering management, particularly those able to combine operational tools with central recipe management, nutritional analysis and allergen control. Providers of tablet hardware and IT implementation or support services may also be relevant, either as prime suppliers or as delivery partners. The council is seeking market feedback before defining the requirement, giving suppliers with experience of school and corporate catering environments a chance to explain available approaches and practical delivery considerations. SMEs are explicitly considered suitable for the package. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate how their solution supports kitchen users across multiple sites while enabling central control of recipes, nutrition and allergen information. The eventual specification and evaluation requirements have not yet been set.

## Notice

North Yorkshire Council is requesting information from suppliers to help determine the scope and feasibility of its requirement, to understand the range of potential solutions available in the market, and to assist with drafting a potential future tender specification for a Kitchen Management Solution and associated hardware for use in schools and corporate sites across North Yorkshire. The system will also be used centrally for recipe maintenance, nutritional analysis and allergen control.
