UK SBS FM160024 Provision of British Antarctic Food

Notice Description

UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as may be amended from time to time) (the "Regulations"). This tender event is based on the following Lots: Lot 1 - Vessel Lot 2 - Station Dry Lot 3 - Station Frozen Lot 4 - Bonded stores It is intended that a sole provider will be appointed for each Lot detailed above, and identified within the pricing schedule. Potential Providers are invited to tender for one or more Lots on an individual basis. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), in support of five research stations in and around Antarctica and two polar vessels, is required to supply provisions for personnel on the continent and on board the ships. During the Antarctic summer there can be more than 250 scientists and support personnel stationed around the region. Everything they need to survive and work needs to be imported by air or sea. Those 50 or so who remain in Antarctica during the winter need adequate supplies for over six months of isolation. The provisioning requirement falls into three distinct categories: the storing of the Polar vessels, the annual re-supply of the Antarctic Stations, and the provision of bonded stored to ships and stations.
