This tender for an Egg Grader by Country Lane Foods Ltd provides an opportunity for businesses in the egg production and packaging industry to expand their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete considering the grant-funded nature of the procurement which aims to secure the regional egg supply amidst a transition towards cage-free production.

## Notice

Country Lane Foods is a long-standing, successful family business with a passion for all things egg-related. For over 30 years, we've proudly worked with farmers and customers UK-wide. For us, quality products packed with care by our fantastic staff every day at our packing facility is paramount to our success. With happy hens and happy staff at the heart of everything we do and a packing facility of over 45,000 square feet, means we pack 1.5 million eggs per week and rising! The business is currently undergoing increased customer demand for egg supply regionally. This has been driven from a decision made by the retail environment to move to a cage free offering to the consumer. This is a big step for our industry as it moves away from caged production with the majority of this egg being replaced with free range. This has presented a huge opportunity for our business as the retailers look to source from regional egg suppliers to secure their needs. The implementation of more advanced packing equipment will allow the business to become more efficient and support productivity through the consolidation of costs. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
