The procurement stage was selective, following a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 1st November 2022 to 30th September 2027, with a tender deadline of 30th September 2022. The services fall under the courier services industry category and are designed to support countries globally with complex shipping and customs processes. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses providing courier services and expertise in international logistics and customs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete. By meeting the requirements outlined in the tender, businesses can expand their operations by supporting Cefas in managing the shipping and delivery of marine equipment and biological samples worldwide, particularly to remote island nations facing logistical challenges. ## Notice The overseas portfolio of work at Cefas has expanded rapidly over the last few years and will continue to grow as Cefas support countries across the globe to effectively manage their marine environments. This work includes providing countries with a variety of marine and scientific equipment, and the movement of marine samples and biological materials. These items are shipped, and/or imported, from the UK, and other international locations, to the countries in question. Many of these countries are remote island nations where straightforward freight is not an option and where their in-country infrastructure is very limited. Cefas does not have the capacity or expertise to manage the complex shipping, import and export customs processes, and problem solving that are increasingly needed and is seeking a suitable supplier to conduct these requirements. Requirement To provide an end-to-end service including: 1. Advice on packaging and labelling, and/or provision of packaging and labelling services on-site at Cefas (Lowestoft and Weymouth) 2. Advice and support with the completion of all required shipping, import/export, and customs paperwork 3. Shipping of the necessary items from collection through to final delivery to end recipient, both to and from the UK and required overseas countries 4. Support through all customs processes, ensuring all shipments are processed correctly and efficiently 5. Advice and flexibility regarding payment of import taxes, such as one-off payments, use of client/agent duty deferment account, postponed VAT accounting ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/734506aa-6d68-42ef-8b3b-97dc81231675 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 30 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Nov 2022 | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2022 - 30 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £45,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KUEHNE + NAGEL (UK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services ### Codes - 64120000 - Courier services ## Release History - 3 Nov 2022 at 08:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/734506aa-6d68-42ef-8b3b-97dc81231675 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/734506aa-6d68-42ef-8b3b-97dc81231675 3rd November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7acbd7c5-d987-4980-b448-034368fab618 n/a ## Notice URLs - http://www.cefas.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
