Tender Details

Tender are invited for Outsourcing contract for the production and supply of 5th-range (ready-to-heat) prepared meals, ready to be reheated and served to users
Description : Outsourcing contract for the production and supply of "5th-range" (ready-to-heat) prepared meals, ready to be reheated and served to users at Hôpital Pierre-Le Gardeur (HPLG).
Reasons cited by the public body for awarding the contract via a direct negotiation process (sole-source contract)

- Whereas the kitchen at Hôpital Pierre-Le Gardeur (HPLG) is designed exclusively for meal distribution and lacks any internal food production area;
- Whereas it is imperative to source "5th-range" prepared meals entirely from external suppliers;
- Whereas a "5th-range" meal is a fully cooked dish, ready to be reheated and served without further processing;
- Whereas the food service department utilizes a cold-chain system and decentralized meal distribution;
- Whereas Burlodge reheating technology imposes significant constraints regarding time (40 to 55 minutes) and food stability;
- Whereas the food must retain its organoleptic qualities after reheating;
- Whereas these constraints limit the number of suppliers capable of adequately meeting the need;
- Whereas the previously published notice of intent elicited no expressions of interest from suppliers capable of meeting the need; - Whereas it is appropriate to publish a new notice of intent, in accordance with Section 13 (4°) of the LCOP, in order to re-verify the competition available in the market.
