Summary of the contracting process

CalMac Ferries Limited, a public law entity located in Gourock, UKM region, is the buying organisation for the procurement process titled "Framework Agreement for the Supply and Delivery of Milk to Nominated Vessels." The tender, tagged under the ferry operator industry category, involves supplying milk to the company's major vessels. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, using an open procurement method. Key dates include a tender submission deadline set for 14th July 2025, signaling the award period's commencement alongside the bid opening. The overall contract value is anticipated to be £332,349, governed under an open procedure method, with electronic submissions required via the provided link.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers within the food and beverage sector with experience in logistical supply chains. Companies that meet the technical, economic, and suitability selection criteria—such as high turnover, comprehensive insurance coverage, and certification under ISO standards—are well-positioned to bid. The framework agreement, which spans an initial 24-month period with potential extensions, promises stability for suppliers who can deliver consistent quality and integrate with CFL’s digital procurement systems. The absence of variant submissions and the potential for engagement with CFL's smart sourcing model indicate a robust opportunity for suppliers aiming for long-term collaboration with a major ferry operator.
