The requirement covers the supply and delivery of meat products, classified under CPV 15110000. Deliveries are divided across seven Moray areas: Buckie, Forres, Fochabers, Speyside, Elgin, Keith and Lossiemouth. This is a goods supply opportunity rather than a catering or food-service contract. The buyer is a local authority based in Elgin, and the requirement supports catering provision in Moray schools. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide suitable fresh meat products and deliver reliably to multiple local delivery areas, with the option to compete for one or more geographical lots. The procurement has reached tender: Moray Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The submission deadline and online bid opening were set for 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. The total estimated procurement value is £1,915,000. There are seven geographical lots, and suppliers can bid for any number of them; variants are not allowed. Each lot is evaluated 60% on technical quality and 40% on price. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English. Electronic ordering and payment apply, with electronic invoicing allowed. This opportunity suits meat wholesalers, butchers and food distributors with the operational capacity to supply fresh meat in bulk and deliver consistently across one or more Moray areas. Bidders must provide at least two relevant examples demonstrating bulk supply of meat products and submit the last two or three audited financial statements. Before the contract starts, the successful supplier must hold or commit to obtain employers’ liability insurance of £5 million, public liability insurance of £5 million and product liability insurance of £5 million. Suppliers must also confirm their financial standing and disclose any material events affecting it. Successful bidders must propose community benefits to be delivered under the agreement. ## 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..
