This procurement, classified under the goods category, has an estimated annual value of £128,000, with the contract expected to begin in December 2019 and run for one year, with a potential extension of an additional year. The deadline for submitting bids is set for 15 October 2019, and responses may vary based on demand, particularly during peak event times in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specializing in food services, particularly those who can provide high-quality, diverse sandwich options, including ready-to-eat and specialty dietary products such as gluten-free and vegan selections. Businesses that can demonstrate flexibility in order fulfilment, including last-minute and weekend deliveries, as well as the ability to stay aligned with seasonal trends, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. ## Notice Manchester Central is currently looking for a Contractor to supply sandwiches to Manchester Central Convention Centre and Manchester Town Hall Complex. 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 is December 2019. 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/6849ef6c-4f43-4d2c-adf5-3222a14ce947 | | 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 | 5 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | 15 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2019 - 1 Dec 2020 | | 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 | MANCHESTER | | 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 - 5 Sep 2019 at 17:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6849ef6c-4f43-4d2c-adf5-3222a14ce947 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6849ef6c-4f43-4d2c-adf5-3222a14ce947 5th September 2019 - 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.
