Government Tenders
Government food industry tenders usually come in respect of wheat, rice, dal, peas, edible oil, and processed foods like biscuits, baby food, milk products, fish and meat, and pickles, sauce, and other such products. Bidders have to be careful about the date line for supply of the products and their qualitative aspects. Else the consignment could be refused causing huge losses for the sender. Moreover, even at the time of bidding, these two aspects should be highlighted in the response so as to convince the requesting government about timely supply and adequate quality of the products and reliability of the bidder.
Hotel and Catering Services Tenders
Domain of food industry tenders that could be right for small and medium scale enterprises and where they can make good in business are the hotel and catering services. Regular tenders are floated by these establishments as they require food continuously.
