This tender, identified as BIGTP029_4, falls within the "Chocolate and sugar confectionery" industry category and features a procurement method classified as an open procedure (below threshold). Key dates include the tender publication on 1st June 2020, with submissions due by 15th June 2020, and a contract period commencing on 3rd August 2020 and concluding on 1st September 2020. The total value of this procurement is set at £25,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the manufacturing and food processing sectors, particularly those specialising in machinery for confectionery production. Companies capable of providing seamless integration into existing production lines, or those that can respond to multiple tenders related to the project, are encouraged to participate. As Buttermilk Confections Ltd. encourages suppliers to submit bids for any of the four related tenders, businesses that offer innovative and efficient solutions may find a competitive advantage in this collaborative procurement effort. ## Notice Buttermilk Confections are producers of fudge, turkish delight, marzipan, and peanut brittle. Using the finest ingredients, including Cornish clotted cream, the confections are made following traditional recipes with open copper pans over direct heat. We are looking to invest in a new chocolate production line and this procurement exercise relates to this investment. 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 as a whole. Additional information: We have published four separate tenders; BIGTP029 - ITT purchase of ancillary kitchen equipment, BIGTP029_2 - ITT purchase of a conche /refiner, BIGTP029_4 - ITT purchase of a chocolate depositing line, BIGTP029_3 - ITT purchase of chocolate temperer. These separate machinery investments will work together forming a single production line. We would welcome tender responses for any of these elements from the same supplier but this would require them responding to each tender separately. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b377c54-4d38-4733-b9b3-d9731f46f468 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | 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 | 12 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jun 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Aug 2020 - 1 Sep 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | BUTTERMILK CONFECTIONS LIMITED | | Locality | BODMIN | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL31 2QB | | 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 | Bodmin St Petroc's | | Westminster constituency | North Cornwall | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 15842000 - Chocolate and sugar confectionery - 42200000 - Machinery for food, beverage and tobacco processing and associated parts ## Release History - 12 Jun 2020 at 09:19 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b377c54-4d38-4733-b9b3-d9731f46f468 - 1 Jun 2020 at 06:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b377c54-4d38-4733-b9b3-d9731f46f468 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b377c54-4d38-4733-b9b3-d9731f46f468 12th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e693ee38-a942-43e2-8557-c52b537fea06 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a1dfa28b-1cc0-420f-8aca-a284d0b99a87 Confirmation of no clarification requests ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
