Animal feedstuffs

Tender description

The Crick is seeking to enter into a contract agreement where the supplier is to store (across one or multiple sites), manage and deliver direct to nominated Francis Crick Institute sites, all agreed products, including animal bedding and nesting products. This requirement is driven by the phased consolidation of multiple laboratory sites into a new dedicated facility in central London and will reflect the desire to rationalise the current supply base. As part of this contract, the supplier is to provide from their own stocks, 3 types of animal (predominantly rodent) bedding, one of which will be paper/cellulose based and two that will be wood based. The supplier will, where necessary, be required to purchase, manage, store and deliver 3rd party products for use in the Crick BRF. Bidders should note that due to the urgency of this requirement, the timescales for this open procedure have been shortened. Timescales are advised within the relevant ITT documentation.
