As a world-class international convention centre, Manchester Central requires products of the highest quality. The successful supplier will provide products for all onsite catering, including hospitality, banquets, weddings, conferences and exhibitions. Given the dynamic nature of the events industry, the supplier will be expected to respond to orders as required, potentially with a last minute or same day delivery, including Saturday and Sunday orders. Average annual requirements for the top 100 procured products for Milk and Dairy and Fruit and Veg are detailed below, and these requirements will need to be matched by the supplier. Due to event peaks and troughs within the business, orders of higher numbers must be available at certain times. If a product is not available in the quantities required, the supplier must notify Manchester Central as early as possible and provide alternative products of the same calibre. Contract partners will be required to have periodic contract review meetings with the Company's Executive Chef. The frequency of such contract review meetings will be determined by Manchester Central and may vary from time to time. The meetings will discuss the performance of previous months' supply, the supply required over the next few months, highlighting any key large events coming up, and any positive / negative feedback with regards to product quality, account management, ordering and delivery. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e3f4b757-1562-468d-b4db-36d97a77fd02 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2024 - 30 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £624,000 | | 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 | LUKE SHELDON | | 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 | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products ### Codes - 15300000 - Fruit, vegetables and related products - 15500000 - Dairy products ## Release History - 2 Jul 2024 at 16:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e3f4b757-1562-468d-b4db-36d97a77fd02 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e3f4b757-1562-468d-b4db-36d97a77fd02 2nd July 2024 - 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.
