GCC006633CPU - Provision of Courier Services for the Delivery of Prepared Meals and Related Sundry Products
The submission route named on the official notice.
Glasgow City Council has published 7 Transport Services notices, about every 9 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around May 2027.
70% of Glasgow City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The council is seeking to establish a 4-year framework agreement.
The requirement to deliver food from production sites to import locations is partly due to certain locations not having adequate facilities within their premises to cook the volume of meals required.
This requirement was previously delivered in-house by Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability (NRS), however over time NRS’ capacity has reduced.
