Feasibility study for sustainable abattoir capacity in Southeast England.
Surrey County Council seeks a contractor to conduct a feasibility study on ensuring sufficient and sustainable abattoir capacity across Southeast England (Kent, East and West Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight). The study will develop a business case to support investment in the red meat industry, focusing on direct-to-retail/hospitality opportunities, economic contribution, and environmental sustainability. The buyer is a local government authority serving the region. No specific qualifications or set-asides are mentioned; the study requires expertise in feasibility analysis and the meat industry. The scale is regional, covering multiple counties.
