Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Berkshire Fire Authority (RBFA) is currently in the tender stage for its procurement titled "Provision of Buffet and Packed Lunches." This initiative aims to establish a framework of up to four suppliers who can provide a variety of buffets and packed lunches to sites across the Thames Valley region, including RBFA, Buckinghamshire Fire Authority, and Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The tender period ends on 18th September 2017, with the contract scheduled to commence on 1st October 2017 and run for two years until 30th September 2019. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically the hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services industry, using an open procedure for a below threshold contract method.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for catering firms, particularly those skilled in meeting diverse dietary requirements and religious preferences. Businesses that focus on food services geared towards public sector needs, especially those that are accustomed to supplying large-scale events, would be well-positioned to compete. The framework is non-exclusive, which means that successful bidders could potentially engage with multiple emergency service partners throughout the Thames Valley, further expanding their market reach and service offerings.
