Dog Food

⁠⁠⁠The supply and delivery of dog feed / dog food

Project goals

This Request for Tender (RFT) is issued by the NSW Police Force (NSWPF) to identify suppliers that can supply and deliver dog food to nominated NSWPF locations in line with required specifications.

The objective of this RFT is to appoint a preferred supplier and a backup supplier. NSWPF intends to enter into standing order agreements for an initial five year term, with options to extend for a further three years and an additional two years at NSWPF’s discretion.

Where required, NSWPF may engage additional suppliers to ensure supply continuity, value for money, and effective delivery, including in regional areas. These suppliers may be engaged under alternative arrangements such as letters of engagement or NSWPF Purchase Order terms and conditions.

All supplier arrangements will be non exclusive.
