What it costs to enter

Quote must stay valid for 90 days — three times the usual 30-day validity on this board
Watch out for
53 lines over a 90-day term is a full institutional catering contract, not a one-off delivery
Bread, fresh milk, ice cream, yoghurt and fresh produce all need scheduled deliveries and cold chain; no delivery frequency is published
Bid validity is 90 days on food commodities whose prices move week to week — that is real exposure
Several lines name brands (Royco, Mazoe, Lays, Quick Brew) without "or equivalent"
Whether partial bids by category are accepted is not stated
