## Summary

Argyll and Bute Council has initiated a procurement process with a planned request for information (RFI) to supply wild venison to schools within the Argyll and Bute region, categorised under general public services. The RFI aims to gather market information about suppliers capable of delivering wild venison, ensuring high quality and timely delivery to the specified location. Currently in the planning stage, the process is legally compliant and aligned with international trade agreements. Key milestones include a future notice scheduled for 13th July 2026. The procurement method primarily focuses on obtaining market information to shape future tendering opportunities.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the food supply chain, especially those specialising in meat products and distribution within the UK, to expand their market reach and enhance their portfolio by partnering with a public sector buyer. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer quality venison with efficient logistics would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this procurement could provide these businesses a foothold in public sector contracts, fostering potential growth and sustainable business relationships with local authorities.
