This open procedure tender has a total estimated value of £128,000, and while the contract is set to commence on 1st June 2022 and run for one year, there is an option for a twelve-month extension based on performance. The tender period will conclude on 14th April 2022, and products must meet high standards, with specific dietary options required. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in catering and food supply, particularly those that can offer premium quality pre-packed sandwiches and dietary-specific options like gluten-free, vegan, and halal products. Companies adept at managing dynamic supply demands—such as last-minute orders and variable quantities—will find this contract particularly advantageous. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, making this an ideal opportunity for businesses looking to expand their presence within the public sector. ## Notice Manchester Central is currently looking for a Contractor to supply sandwiches to Manchester Central Convention Centre, Manchester Town Hall Complex and Manchester Airport Runway Visitor Park. Estimated annual spend for sandwiches is circa PS128k. Spend is estimated on current supply and Manchester Central are unable to guarantee such levels of purchasing. The Contract will be for a period of one (1) year, with a Manchester Central only option to extend for a further period of twelve months. The anticipated Contract start date 01st June 2022 As a world-class international convention centre, Manchester Central requires products of the highest quality. The successful contractor will provide premium sandwiches for all event types, including pre-packed premium retail sandwiches, pre-packed delegate sandwich wedges for lunch bags, uncut sandwich 'stacks', filled paninis, toasties, and wraps. All products must include various dietary options, including gluten free, vegan and halal. Given the dynamic nature of the events industry, the contractor will be expected to respond to orders as required, potentially with a last minute or same day delivery, including Saturday delivery. Due to the dynamic nature of the events industry, the contractor will be expected to respond to orders which may come in peaks and troughs. Due to such event peaks and troughs, orders of higher numbers must be available at certain times. If a product is not available in the quantities required, the contractor must notify Manchester Central as early as possible and provide alternative products of the same calibre. The successful contractor will work in partnership with Manchester Central's executive chef to review and offer new suitable seasonal fillings on at least a six-month basis. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/937db8d5-3796-472b-adb1-a036dea97765 | | 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 | 14 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2022 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £128,000 | | 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 | MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PETERSFIELD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M2 3GX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products ### Codes - 15811511 - Prepared sandwiches ## Release History - 14 Mar 2022 at 14:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/937db8d5-3796-472b-adb1-a036dea97765 - 14 Mar 2022 at 14:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ae7bb4e-c1b7-4214-a4ea-873003fd2caf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/937db8d5-3796-472b-adb1-a036dea97765 14th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ae7bb4e-c1b7-4214-a4ea-873003fd2caf 14th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.manchester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
