Josh's affinity for Cornwall was something they wanted to weave into the chocolate they make. For this, they turned to the very talented St Ives based illustrator, Joanne Barry, tasking her with producing a suite of gorgeous illustrations depicting the idyllic outdoor/Cornish lifestyle of which they are so fond. The results were beautiful and have been used as the packaging for Jos's Chocolate range of chocolate bars. Josh's Chocolate now offers a range of dark and milk chocolate bars, over eight of which are flavoured with thoughtfully considered inclusions, gigantic chocolate buttons, creamy hot chocolate spoons and egg-squisite Easter eggs. Premium chocolate, capturing cherished moments, handmade here in Cornwall. The current factory is based in four repurposed shipping containers based alongside Josh's childhood home, Callestick Farm. We have a dedicated, closeknit team making and packing in our 'melt and mould' operation, combining with additional flavour essences, caramel, fruit, nuts, and ginger inclusions. The range consists of eight 100g bars, the famous gigantic chocolate buttons and hot chocolate stirring spoons. We are looking for a specialist artisan chocolate bar wrapping machine. 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/adc186f2-e1ad-4b28-a4b7-ebc886fcad2a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 8 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jan 2024 - 1 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | PARKER CONFECTIONERY LIMITED | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR4 9LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Perranporth | | Westminster constituency | Camborne and Redruth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42921300 - Packing or wrapping machinery ## Release History - 25 Oct 2023 at 07:53 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/adc186f2-e1ad-4b28-a4b7-ebc886fcad2a - 18 Oct 2023 at 10:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/adc186f2-e1ad-4b28-a4b7-ebc886fcad2a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/adc186f2-e1ad-4b28-a4b7-ebc886fcad2a 25th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c5a2d36e-ed45-4e3a-8ffd-79acf5a31d91 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8fee5235-af97-4c85-b100-11911928a11e - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b38cf7ea-fa1e-4316-b1d9-35ca2d0e319f Clarification re automatic infeed conveyor plus budget increase. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
