## Summary

Buttermilk Confections Limited, based in Bodmin, England, is initiating a tender process for the purchase of a conche/refiner as part of their investment in a new chocolate production line. This active tender, identified as ITT Purchase of Conche /refiner, falls under the chocolate and sugar confectionery industry category. The procurement is conducted via an open procedure, with a tender period ending on 15 June 2020. The total value of this contract is £25,000 and the expected contract period is from 3 August 2020 to 1 September 2020.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the machinery and food processing sectors, particularly those supplying equipment for confectionery production. Businesses that can offer related machinery and technology may find this procurement advantageous, especially given the potential to respond to multiple tenders published by Buttermilk Confections for different components of the chocolate production line, enhancing their competitive advantage if they can deliver comprehensive solutions.

## Notice

Buttermilk Confections are producers of fudge, turkish delight, marzipan, and peanut brittle. Using the finest ingredients, including Cornish clotted cream, the confections are made following traditional recipes with open copper pans over direct heat. We are looking to invest in a new chocolate production line and this procurement exercise relates to this investment. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. Additional information: We have published four separate tenders; BIGTP029 - ITT purchase of ancillary kitchen equipment, BIGTP029_2 - ITT purchase of a conche /refiner, BIGTP029_4 - ITT purchase of a chocolate depositing line, BIGTP029_3 - ITT purchase of chocolate temperer. These separate machinery investments will work together forming a single production line. We would welcome tender responses for any of these elements from the same supplier but this would require them responding to each tender separately.
