Local Produce - Meet the Buyer Events

The North Yorkshire Council · Local authority

In brief

The North Yorkshire Council has announced plans to buy food and drink work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £204,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 1 year, starting 1 September 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 21 bids per contract for this buyer (from 126 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £204,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

North Yorkshire Council (the Authority) are seeking to invite interested suppliers to one of two meet the buyer events the Authority is delivering prior to undertaking a procurement later in the year for a food and beverage provision framework.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
