Tenders Are Invited For Procurement Of Food Parcels

Tenders are invited for Procurement of Food Parcels. Deadline: Monday, 19. Jan 2026 The project aims to improve household food security among conflict-affected populations in Baalbak through the provision of immediate food assistance and the restoration of household-level animal-source food production via the distribution of livestock and feed. Over a period of six months, the project will implement complementary food-security interventions that address urgent nutritional needs while strengthening households access to diverse and nutritious foods, as follows: Food Parcels distribution: Distribute food parcels to vulnerable households, with priority given to returnees and conflict-affected host communities. The parcels, procured locally when possible to support small farmers and women-led cooperatives, are designed to meet a significant portion of an average familys monthly caloric requirements. Each parcel contains essential staple foods, including lentils, chickpeas, dry beans, bourghul, flour (white and whole grain), salt, tomato paste, oregano mix, kishk, awarma, olive oil, and apple jam. To promote healthier and safer food consumption, a Nutritionist & Public Health Expert will accompany the distribution by delivering sessions on nutrition, food safety, household budgeting, healthy food choices, and food loss reduction. Awareness materials will be shared digitally to reinforce key messages and ensure wider reach among targeted households. The service to be performed by the supplier is within the scope of the Distribution of Food Parcels and shall be performed in close cooperation with RELIEF team. The composition of the food parcels that will be distributed by Al-Shouf Cedar Association will cover most (60%) of the energy/caloric needs for a family of 5 individuals for one month and will contain a variety of items within each food group (carbs, proteins and fat) providing the macro and micronutrients. The quality of the food provided responds to the recommended nutritional needs, ensuring that the family members have access to a minimum balanced nutritional content, taking into consideration that the food items included in the parcel have a long shelf life. Most of these items in the parcel should be bought from local farmers, food processors such as women cooperatives and local MSMEs that buy from local farmers, so all the products are natural, without any preservatives and considered as a good source of vitamins and minerals. This leap in the food parcel content will support the many actors along the value chain and will have an effective role in raising small holders and food processors incomes. Hence RELIEF ration will contribute to supporting the livelihoods of the local community mainly by increasing productivity, adding value to local products, increasing income, employment opportunities and mobilizing the economy and social capital of rural territories The supplier will: Do the packaging and labeling of the parcels, as needed. Since the weight of the food parcel is 51.75 kg, the package will be divided into two parts and shall consist of a; (i) sealed cardboard box (ii) a 10 kg separate white flour bag. The cardboard box and the flour bag will both carry the logos of ACS and GIZ, and a list of the items with the quantity and weight of each, to avoid any abuse. The design of the label will be later provided to the selected supplier by Al-Shouf Cedar Association team. The primary and secondary packages must be sized in order to protect the goods, avoiding empty space inside the packages. The packaging must be reduced to the minimum. The name of product, production and expiry dates and the fact that it is free from culturally restricted components, must be indicated on the inner packaging (all cartons and individual wrappers/boxes/can/containers). An additional brochure stating that the Awarma is Halal should be printed or the Halal expression should be present on the product. Tender Link : https://www.daleel-madani.org/calls-for-proposal
