Tender description

Supply and delivery of fresh butcher meat and fruit and vegetables to CalMac Ferries Ltd.

CalMac Ferries Ltd (CFL) is seeking a supplier capable of supplying fresh butcher meat and fruit and vegetables within a combined delivery on predefined delivery days across the west coast of Scotland. It should be noted that for logistical reasons some delivery locations have delivery to a port storeroom whilst others will require a timed delivery direct to a vessel stores.

Potential suppliers are required to have the necessary equipment available to ensure that the fresh meat is delivered at 5 degree centigrade or lower. Effective separation of produce being delivered and compliance with all relevant food safety regulations is also of the upmost importance to CFL.

The exact location for each vessel repair dock is not known until the results of the overhaul tender are published. However, historically these have been in locations such as: Greenock; Leith; Aberdeen and Liverpool.

In order to maintain this status CFL require to source fresh quality ingredients and develop our menus whilst ensuring local provenance of key ingredients.
