## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council procured the supply and distribution of frozen foods for delivery in Edinburgh. The requirement was awarded through Scotland Excel’s framework for the supply and distribution of frozen foods, framework 0825. This is a food supply and logistics contract: the successful supplier is responsible for providing frozen food and distributing it to the Council. The procurement covers one lot, with the requirement described by reference to the framework agreement. The Council is the buyer and will use the goods for its public services. The information identifies Edinburgh as the delivery location; it does not describe individual food products, delivery sites or service arrangements in further detail.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run using an open procedure, as an award under Scotland Excel framework 0825. Sysco GB Limited, trading as Brakes, was awarded the contract. The contract value is £2,293,280. It was signed on 15 September 2026; the contract period is not stated. The procurement comprised one lot covering supply and distribution of frozen foods. The award record does not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. Bid statistics record one bid for the lot, including one bid from an SME, and one electronic bid. The reported award establishes the selected supplier and outcome, but the bid statistic alone does not explain how the bids were assessed.

For suppliers considering similar Council requirements in future, this award demonstrates demand for frozen food supply combined with distribution in Edinburgh, procured through a Scotland Excel framework. Credible competitors would need to provide a dependable range of frozen foods and the operational capacity to distribute them to the Council’s requirements. The successful supplier, Sysco GB Limited trading as Brakes, is recorded as a large business, while the bid statistics show that an SME also submitted a bid. This suggests that smaller suppliers have participated, although the award data does not establish what capabilities or experience were decisive. Suppliers should assess whether they can meet the framework’s requirements for product supply and delivery at this contract’s scale, and whether they can access the relevant framework route.
