This procurement is part of a larger investment in a new chocolate production line and is subject to grant funding approval. The tender period is set to end on 15th June 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 3rd August 2020 and conclude by 1st September 2020. The opportunity is classified under the CPV code for chocolate and sugar confectionery, indicating it is relevant to the food processing industry in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender provides a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in machinery for food production, particularly those that can offer combined solutions for multiple elements of the production line, as Buttermilk Confections welcomes proposals for various components of the chocolate production setup. Businesses with a solid background in food manufacturing equipment and an understanding of the tendering process would be particularly well-suited to participate in this procurement, potentially enhancing their market presence through successful engagement with a well-known confectionery producer. ## 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/3197d6f7-094b-4aa2-a03d-6d215e19b43e | | 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 09:20 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3197d6f7-094b-4aa2-a03d-6d215e19b43e - 1 Jun 2020 at 06:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3197d6f7-094b-4aa2-a03d-6d215e19b43e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3197d6f7-094b-4aa2-a03d-6d215e19b43e 12th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cb6e5a76-2a28-4199-9924-946f2e2bbdfb - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8a8025cd-2d6a-4e69-8a01-011fdcc55518 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
