The procurement falls under the goods category, classified under aquatic products and related machinery. Located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, the procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), with a contract period from 27th March 2023 to 5th May 2023. The tender deadline is set for 16th March 2023. This tender opportunity by the Cornish Sea Salt Company Limited is suited for businesses involved in machinery production, particularly for food and beverage processing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the procurement's emphasis on bespoke solutions for heating elements. Businesses with expertise in aquatic products and culinary machinery can benefit from this opportunity to provide innovative solutions tailored to the unique geographical environment of the sea salt production site. ## Notice We are one of the very few sea salt industries harvesting from open waters, more specifically the protected waters of the Atlantic lapping at the shores of The Lizard, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Beneath the beauty is a totally unique geographical environment, which defines the taste and high mineral content of our sea salt. Serpentine, once so sought after in the Victorian era, and gabbro, are both rich in magnesium and calcium, two of the key minerals in our sea salt and essential to life on earth. From humble beginnings on the south Cornish coast, our sea salt has now become international selling in over 33 different countries. Our signature blue pots sit just as happily in Michelin-starred establishments as they do on the tables of home cooks who have an appreciation not only for taste and quality of artisan sea salt, but the exciting versatility and creativity it can bring to cooking. However, we wish to change the production methodology of how we extract the salt by using heating elements submerged in the brine tanks. We are therefore looking to purchase bespoke heating elements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3aad3c37-f854-44b0-a26e-744d0c7a2bd4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 16 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Mar 2023 - 5 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £64,000 | | 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 | CORNISH SEA SALT COMPANY LIMITED | | Locality | HELSTON | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR12 6UD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Helston South & Meneage | | Westminster constituency | St Ives | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 03313000 - Aquatic products - 15870000 - Condiments and seasonings - 42200000 - Machinery for food, beverage and tobacco processing and associated parts - 42900000 - Miscellaneous general and special-purpose machinery ## Release History - 24 Feb 2023 at 14:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3aad3c37-f854-44b0-a26e-744d0c7a2bd4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3aad3c37-f854-44b0-a26e-744d0c7a2bd4 24th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1c48797e-e68c-4573-9244-e25486d69ea0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/eb7a5dd2-bed7-43f9-a882-7a195cd54725 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
