Living Lab - Containers for wild food preprocessing, work packages 1-4

The Kemi-Torniolaakson koulutuskuntayhtymä Lappia/Municipal Education and Training Consortium Lappia is implementing the project: Investments - Sustainable growth from local raw materials funded by the Regional Council of Lapland (project code J11053). The Regional Council of Lapland has approved the project for funding and granted support for the implementation of the project from the Just Transition Fund (JTF) under the Act on the Financing of Regional Development and European Union Regional and Structural Policy Projects (757/2021). In accordance with the project plan, the target of the procurement is preprocessing container purchases and equipment, the estimated total value of the procurements is 270,000€. The aim of the project is to implement mobile processing environments for preprocessing of local raw materials. The preprocessing environment for local raw materials is divided into work packages 1-4. Work package 2 (Part 1 and Part 2) will be the first to start tendering competition of this procurement entity. Work package 2. Part 1. Container for preprocessing wild food (berry separator) including Part 2. Berry separator machine for preprocessing (for separating frozen sea buckthorn berries from the branches by shaking as well as other suitable frozen wild berries). Working inside the container must be possible. The estimated value of the work package is 41.000€-55.000€. Tendering period 7.1.-29.1.2025 Work package 1. Dryer container (with freezer and infrared dryer) for wild food preprocessing by drying of natural products. The processes demand that working inside the container is possible. The estimated value of the work package is 95.000€. Tendering period January-February 2025. Work package 3. One dryer container and one freezer container, both must be trailer-transportable. The estimated value of the work package 3. is 55.000€. Work package 4. Preprocessing container with express freezer (shock freezer). The estimated value of the work package 4 is 65.000 €. In the first phase, The Kemi-Torniolaakson koulutuskuntayhtymä Lappia/Municipal Education and Training Consortium Lappia and Lappia Vocational College will request your offer for the Work Package 2, Part 1. Container for separating berries and Part 2. A berry separator machine to be placed inside the container. Offers for either Part 1. Container or Part 2. Berry separator machine are accepted and can be offered either container or separator or both parts. Work package 2 Part 1 - Container (for separating berries inside the container) is 2.2-2.4 m high (six-foot container) temperature-controlled freezer container or a ready-made freezing container solution. The working container must be new or as good as new, the previous purpose of use must be stated in the tender, as well as the insulation materials. The container must not have any indoor air problems. The container must be prepared for two people to work inside with the berry separator machine at the same time. Therefore the requirements are set for ventilation, food handling and occupational safety, which must be taken into account when building the working container. With regard to container materials, such as structures, insulation, sound insulation and surface materials, the use of a berry separator machine inside the container causes resonance and vibration, which must also be taken into account when preparing container. The container must meet the material and hygiene requirements set by the Finnish Health Authority for the food handling environment. The estimated value of the container is in the price range of 26.000-35.000€. The transport of the container delivered at place or delivered at place unloaded (Kätkävaarantie 69, Loue, Tervola) must be included. All costs must be included, also possible transportation, customs, transport/freight insurance fees must be included in the total offer price. Work package 2 Part 2 - Berry separator machine The object of the procurement is a mobile berry separator machine, which is placed inside the working container. Based on the market survey carried out, the berry separators currently on the market are large separators intended for industrial use. A mobile berry separator machine placed inside the container should be compact, innovative and transportable. The berry separator is attached inside the container during transportion and use of the machine, so both the container and the berry shaker supplier must take into account the mandatory requirements for compatibility. The estimated value of the berry separator machine is estimated to be around 15.000-20.000€. The cost of moving and transporting the berry separator to the container supplier (installation and integration)must be included in the total price. The transport of the berry separator container (Kätkävaarantie 69, Loue, Tervola) must be included. Cooperation between the container supplier and the supplier of berry separator machine is essential.
