## Summary

North Ayrshire Council’s annual spend under Scotland Excel corporate frameworks covers a broad range of supplies and services for council operations and public services. Purchases include catering sundries and equipment, groceries, fresh meat, fish, bread and milk; cleaning, janitorial and washroom products; furniture, education materials, office supplies and musical instruments; library books, textbooks and digital publications; sheriff officer services; and reuse-related services. The listed suppliers span specialist distributors, publishers, food and catering suppliers, educational suppliers and service providers. Delivery is for North Ayrshire Council in Irvine and across its council area. This is a portfolio of framework purchasing rather than a single narrowly defined requirement, so relevance depends on a supplier’s particular goods or services and ability to supply public-sector customers through the applicable framework.

The procurement is complete and records cumulative awards and spend through Scotland Excel corporate frameworks. North Ayrshire Council selected multiple suppliers across the listed categories, including Alliance Disposables, Bunzl UK trading as Lockhart Catering, GMC Corsehill and Unico for catering sundries; Ferguson Bakers for bakery products; Campbell Brothers and Sysco for meat and fish; Bestway Wholesale and Sysco for groceries; and suppliers of education goods, books, furnishings, hygiene products and other categories. The framework spend period ran from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026; the contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and is recorded as active. The contract value is £3,498,700. The council used an open procedure, and the notice reports 62 bids. Individual category amounts include £823,893 for groceries, £587,563 for meat, cooked meats and fish, and £376,106 for janitorial products.

For suppliers who did not receive an award, this outcome shows North Ayrshire Council’s recurring demand is channelled through Scotland Excel corporate frameworks and covers many distinct supply markets. Future credible competitors will need to match a specific category: examples include reliable wholesale provision of food and catering goods, educational and office products, books and digital publications, sanitary and cleaning supplies, furniture, or specialist services such as sheriff officers. The breadth of awarded suppliers indicates opportunities are distributed among category specialists rather than one supplier delivering the entire portfolio. Suppliers should be equipped to meet council-scale purchasing and fulfil orders across North Ayrshire, and should understand the relevant Scotland Excel framework route. The published outcome records 62 bids, including 62 SME bids, indicating competition included small and medium-sized businesses as well as larger suppliers.
