Summary

The tender covers the preparation and daily cold-chain delivery of meals for children under three at two childcare centres: Arc-en-Ciel in Le Pouzin and Les Clapotis in Chomérac.

Bidders must take account of food quality and sustainable sourcing requirements, cold-chain controls, and the use of reusable containers—preferably stainless steel—and reduction of packaging waste.
