## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority, representing Greater Manchester Police, has announced an open tender titled "A1086 Packed Lunches" for the supply and delivery of packed lunches for operational personnel during special events and operations. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the tender period ending on 29th August 2024 at 12:00 PM BST. The contract is expected to start on 21st October 2024 and end on 20th October 2028. This contract, valued between £400,000 and £450,000, falls under the industry category of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products, with specific items including sandwiches, prepared sandwiches, catering supplies, and snacks. The locations for delivery encompass the Greater Manchester area and various global regions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the food and catering industry to support public safety operations and special events by providing packed lunches tailored to operational needs. With an estimated annual requirement of 23,500 packed lunches and the inclusion of both pre-planned and emergency scenarios, companies that specialise in large-scale food preparation and distribution, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Successful suppliers will benefit from a stable, multi-year contract, fostering long-term business growth and stability within the public sector catering market.

## Notice

Greater Manchester Police has a requirement for the supply and delivery of packed lunches for operational personnel for special events and operations. Packed lunches will be required for a variety of pre-planned events and emergency situations, delivered to any location within the Greater Manchester area.

Our estimated annual usage based on the previous 12 months is 20,000 6 hour packed lunches and 3,500 12 hour packed lunches. Due to the operational nature of this requirement, no volumes or values are guaranteed.
