Tender description
To sustain the food chain (75,000 jobs in the GLLEP economy) investment in efficient low carbon cool chain infrastructure and technology is essential. In Greater Lincolnshire major product categories in which the area is a national leader (such as fish, meat, vegetables, salads, fruit, chilled ready meals and cut flowers) are all dependent on the cool chain. A study is therefore proposed to look at: a) market trends which will change the demand for cool chain infrastructure; b) mapping and categorising the current stock of infrastructure; c) identifying exemplar approaches to energy efficiency and carbon reduction; d) exploring how local expertise can help deliver more efficient cool chain solutions; e) developing a plan for investment in the cool chain; and f) setting out the investment opportunity for local businesses and external investors (e.g. 3PL providers).

About the buyer
Lincolnshire County Council is the local authority responsible for services across the county, and buys through its own Procurement Lincolnshire team. Suppliers register on Panacea, the council's e-tendering portal, to bid for contracts. Contracts above relevant thresholds are also advertised on Find a Tender, which is free for suppliers to join. A procurement pipeline sets out contracts due for re-procurement over the next eighteen months, helping suppliers plan ahead. The council favours a Lincolnshire-based approach to procurement, working with partner public bodies across the county where possible. Small and medium enterprises are encouraged to bid for council contracts directly.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Lincolnshire County Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and transport services.
