Southeast Abattoir Capacity Feasibility Study

This opportunity seeks a consultant or research organization to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study examining abattoir capacity and sustainability across the Southeast region (Kent, East and West Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight). The study should develop a robust business case to attract investment in abattoir infrastructure and services. Key focus areas include: identifying opportunities in the direct-to-retail and hospitality red meat supply chains, evaluating market demand and growth potential, assessing economic benefits to local communities, and exploring environmentally sustainable operational practices. The successful supplier will provide strategic recommendations to ensure adequate, resilient abattoir capacity that supports a thriving, sustainable regional food industry and rural economy.
