This procurement falls under the category of goods within the food, beverages, tobacco and related products industry. The tender, classified under several subcategories including food parcels and processed food products, is currently active and is open for bids until 28th July 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 27th August 2017 and continue until 29th December 2017, covering delivery to various locations, including the United Kingdom and other regions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in food supply and humanitarian logistics, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Companies with the capacity to deliver large quantities of food items in a timely manner would be well-suited to compete for this contract. As this procurement is focused on supporting vulnerable populations in crisis-affected areas, it also offers a chance for suppliers to contribute positively to humanitarian efforts, potentially enhancing their business reputation and opening up further contracting opportunities in the future. ## Notice The British Red Cross Society UK Office invites sealed bids from manufacturers/reputed firms/registered suppliers for the supply of 80,000 Food Parcels. The British Red Cross (BRC) helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. We are part of a global voluntary network, responding to conflicts, natural disasters and individual crises. We enable vulnerable people in the UK and abroad to prepare for and withstand crises in their own communities. When the crisis is over, we help them to recover and move on with their lives. The on-going crisis in Syria and its repercussions in surrounding countries is one of the larger operations BRC is presently engaged with, with approximately 15m GBP committed since mid-2011. Most of this financing is through multilateral emergency appeals managed on behalf of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent by IFRC, though some support has been provided directly to national societies as well. The BRC response currently consists of emergency relief material and financial support; National Society capacity building and organisational support; support to the IFRC in coordinating the overall operational response; humanitarian advocacy messaging; and a preparedness to engage in recovery programming as opportunities allow. BRC is now planning to procure essential items to distribute to vulnerable affected population across Syria through SARC staff and volunteers. Interested Tenderer(s) fulfilling the eligibility conditions and having the capacity and capability to supply the goods within the time and on the terms and conditions mentioned herein are requested to give their best and final offer and submit their Tender for the item stated in clause 2 of the Tender Document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d4006e6-5538-4965-919f-65b06cdf52a9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | 28 Jul 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Aug 2017 - 29 Dec 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | BRITISH RED CROSS | | Locality | PAISLEY | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA1 1EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Renfrewshire | | Electoral ward | Paisley East and Central | | Westminster constituency | Paisley and Renfrewshire South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 15000000 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 15893100 - Food mixes - 15894000 - Processed food products - 15897300 - Food parcels - 44618420 - Food cans ## Release History - 12 Jul 2017 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d4006e6-5538-4965-919f-65b06cdf52a9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d4006e6-5538-4965-919f-65b06cdf52a9 12th July 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL145270 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.redcross.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
