A Key Decision is required in relation to the
Fresh Meat and Poultry and Frozen Products contract in order to
extend the contract, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.
A Key Decision for the initial term and extension periods of this
contract was taken on 15 November 2021. The contract was put in
place for North Yorkshire Education Services in order for them to
deliver their traded service to educational establishments.
The final extension period is due to come to an end on 31 March
2026, however, Local Government Reorganisation has brought
additional requirements around the provision of food / ingredients
into the Council including large venues, leisure centres and cafes
and the extension(s) will allow time for the most appropriate
contracting arrangements and routes to market to be undertaken in
order to achieve the best value for money.
A Key Decision is being taken as the anticipated cost of the 12
month extension is in the region of £3.9m.
