The procurement stage involves publishing the contract notice on FTS and tender documents on In-tend on 1st December 2023. Deadlines include clarification by 29th December 2023 and tender return by 12th January 2024, with the contract starting on 1st April 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the food industry, specifically suppliers of dry, chilled, and frozen food. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate as the tender is suitable for them. Businesses looking to expand their operations in providing food supplies to Adult Social Care sites in the Portsmouth area are well-suited to compete for this contract, particularly those capable of fulfilling the demanding supply requirements across various council-operated sites. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers for the supply and distribution of dry, chilled, and frozen food to Adult Social Care sites in the Portsmouth Area as required. The council are seeking to establish a Framework of two suppliers in order to satisfy the council's best value duties. Framework suppliers will have the ability to update their Framework prices on a monthly basis. Call-off contracts (resulting in the ordering of goods) will be awarded following a process where the prices of goods to be supplied are compared across the two framework suppliers and the contract awarded to the supplier with the lowest total value. Source of referrals will include but is not limited to, the supply and distribution to the following sites: o Residential or Nursing, including Harry Sotnick House, Russets and Shearwater o Day Services, including The Royal Albert Day Centre and SensePlus Portsmouth o Other Adult Services include Short Stay, Respite, Rehabilitation for the Elderly o The potential opportunity to deliver goods to other directorates across the Council including museums and other Council operated sites (currently these sites are covered by another contract). The estimated value of the framework is IRO ?145,000 per annum, and IRO ?580,000 over the total four-year term. The framework value is expected to remain in the region of the figure stated above however it may increase or decrease throughout the framework term subject to any known or unknown changes to budget allocation, negotiations regarding inflationary increases, variation of services, or addition of further associated services in order to meet changes in demand or delivery. An accurate forecast cannot be made regarding the level of further funding, if any, that may become available, but it is not expected to amount to an increase of more than approximately 50% over the Framework's lifetime and would therefore initially offer an approximate figure of ?217,500 per annum, ?870,000 over the four-year term.
