## Description
Inland Fisheries (a branch within The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural
Affairs) wished to establish a contract for the provision of the supply of Fish Food for both
the Fish Farm and the Salmon Research Station.
This Contract comprises of 2 Lots, details of which are set out below:
Lot 1: Freshwater Trout fish diet for Movanagher Fish Farm
Lot 2: Salmon feed diet for River Bush Salmon Station
Each Lot was evaluated and awarded independently of each other. There was no restrictions on the number of lots a Supplier can bid for or be awarded. Suppliers were to
ensure that if they are bidding for multiple Lots that they have the capacity to deliver the
services in the event that they are successful in more than one Lot.
Each Lot under this Contract is awarded on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender
(MAT) with a single supplier awarded each Lot.
Suppliers can refer to the Specification Schedule for full detail on the requirements of this
contract.
The estimated usage figures found within the Pricing Schedule were based on historical
data and do not guarantee a minimum demand or uptake; actual usage may fluctuate
upwards or downwards. Given this it is difficult to quantify an exact figure, however the
estimated value for the combination of both lots is £900,000 (ex VAT). This does not
cover any price reviews.
