Description

The Contracting Authority hereby invites you to participate in the market consultation Foodstuffs. The aim is to gain insight into what the market can offer us in terms of stockholding, the protein transition and sustainability. In addition, we would like to hear what innovative solutions the market sees that can support us in this task. The new agreement will be largely similar to the current one, but will also respond to changing needs and policy objectives: Sustainability: We explicitly look at solutions to integrate sustainable food and transport options. Suppliers are expected to respond to shorter supply chains, offer sustainable products, and collaborate with local producers. Opportunities to reduce transport emissions and reduce food waste are also being explored. Protein transition: Suppliers are asked to advise on the introduction of alternative protein sources. The protein transition plays an important role in making the food supply more sustainable. The aim is to introduce alternative proteins that meet the needs of end-users and contribute to environmental objectives. Storage and risk spreading: Contracting authority wants to be able to hold larger stocks, including emergency stocks. Storage and transport are essential components within the food and ingredients chain. This category focuses on the possibilities to increase storage capacity, to use transport flexibly, and to limit risks. Your input is important to optimize these logistics processes. Short chain: The roll-out of short food chains is being explored more widely. There is a wish for products from the product group fruit and vegetables (potatoes, fruit and vegetables) that can be sourced from a short food chain. The Ministry of Defence strives for a good balance between market standards and the internal processes within the organisation. Therefore, suppliers are invited to provide their opinion, feedback or proposals on the award criteria and weighting, the Requirements Programme and its annexes and reference requirements through the questionnaire of this market consultation. The procedure is carried out entirely electronically via the online procurement platform Mercell Source-to-Contract (Mercell). Further information on how to use Mercell can be found here.
