The aim of this service is to offer affordable and healthy food options to the local community, with a focus on supporting the local economy and environment. The tender is classified under the services category, with a total value of £60,000 in GBP. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender period ending on July 13, 2023, and a contract period starting from August 1, 2023, to August 31, 2024. The council is seeking suppliers who can provide food boxes in various sizes, suitable for individuals and families, and deliver them to designated hubs across the borough. This tender opportunity by the Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council for the Food Club Service presents a chance for businesses in the food industry, particularly those involved in the production and distribution of animal products, fruits, vegetables, and other related food items. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender process. Suitable businesses should have the capacity to fulfil food box orders, engage with the local community, and support the council's efforts in providing accessible and culturally appropriate food solutions to address the emerging cost of living crisis in the region. ## Notice Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council aims to be a place where everyone can access good quality, healthy, affordable food, where everyone can enjoy a healthy diet and where the food in the borough is produced and sourced locally and responsibly, this in turn supports the local economy and helps sustain the environment. With the emerging cost of living crisis, more people have found their incomes do not cover the cost of essentials like heating and food, and with the cost of food also increasing this has compounded the problem, resulting in a substantial rise in the use of food banks. The aim of the Food Club Service is to provide Food Boxes of various sizes to suit an individual, small family or large family for up to 1 weeks food at approximately 20 percent of the price the equivalent would cost in a Supermarket whilst still delivering a healthy, culturally appropriate, selection of foods. The food boxes will be able to be ordered via a variety of sources, face to face, telephone, internet etc. and paid for in cash or by card. The boxes will also be delivered to a number of hubs across the borough and can be ordered in advance via the community centres in these locations. The service will also engage with the local community and its service users to identify, signpost and refer to appropriate services that may help and support them. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bf1ce32-facb-4c11-b605-4172ac319ff1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2023 - 31 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BLACKBURN WITH DARWEN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BLACKBURN | | Post town | Blackburn | | Postcode | BB1 1DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD41 Blackburn with Darwen | | Local authority | Blackburn with Darwen | | Electoral ward | Blackburn Central | | Westminster constituency | Blackburn | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products ### Codes - 15100000 - Animal products, meat and meat products - 15300000 - Fruit, vegetables and related products - 15800000 - Miscellaneous food products ## Release History - 27 Jun 2023 at 14:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bf1ce32-facb-4c11-b605-4172ac319ff1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bf1ce32-facb-4c11-b605-4172ac319ff1 27th June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=90b47b94-e014-ee11-8123-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.blackburn.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
