Details

De opdracht betreft het sluiten van een raamovereenkomst met één (1) onderneming voor het op afroep verzorgen van barbecuearrangementen ten behoeve van Evenementen op defensielocaties in Nederland, inclusief de Waddeneilanden, alsmede op externe locaties die tijdelijk of permanent bij de Opdrachtgever in gebruik zijn. Per Evenement roept de Opdrachtgever pakketten en/of losse Producten af uit het assortiment zoals beschreven in het Programma van Eisen (bijlage 3). De arrangementen worden in twee varianten uitgevraagd: (i) voorgegaarde Producten die door de gasten zelf op de barbecue worden bereid, en (ii) niet-voorgegaarde (rauwe) Producten die uitsluitend door de Opdrachtnemer worden bereid. De Opdrachtgever verzorgt de ontvangst en begeleiding van de gasten, (sta- en buffet)tafels en zitgelegenheid, verlichting, bij regen een overkapping, afvalvoorziening en -verwerking, handwasvoorziening en elektra- en watervoorzieningen. De Opdrachtnemer verzorgt al het overige, zodanig dat hij zelfstandig in staat is de barbecue te verzorgen (waaronder gasbarbecues inclusief gas, personeel, servies, bestek, servetten en presentatie-/decoratiemiddelen). De functionele en technische eisen zijn opgenomen in het Programma van Eisen (bijlage 3).

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this agriculture & food opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
