Supply of Various Food Items

The eligibility requirements include being a registered entity with the legal capacity to supply specified food items, holding relevant certifications that validate the quality of goods, and demonstrating previous experience in bulk supply. Importantly, bidders must exhibit past performance that aligns with the expectations set forth by the Social Welfare Department, ensuring all products fulfill established safety and quality standards.

Bidders are required to provide certificates that assure compliance with local health and safety regulations for food products, applicable food safety certifications, and any other relevant industry-specific certifications. This documentation is crucial as it reflects the firm’s commitment to maintaining high quality and safety standards in line with regulatory demands.

To register for this tender, interested parties must create an account on the designated procurement platform referenced in the tender details. Once registered, suppliers can submit their bids electronically, which must include all necessary documentation as outlined in the submission criteria. Prospective bidders should prepare to provide valid company registration documentation and relevant food safety certifications during this process.

Bidders must submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) that represents a percentage of the total bid amount. The EMD serves as a form of financial security that assures the department of the bidder’s commitment. Additionally, suppliers may be required to provide a performance security upon award of the contract to safeguard against any potential non-compliance in delivery or product standards.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs) may receive special provisions to support their bidding process, including relaxed eligibility criteria and preferential scoring during the evaluation stage. Moreover, these enterprises are encouraged to participate under government policies aimed at fostering local enterprise development, enhancing their market presence, and enabling fair competition in supply contracts associated with government departments.
