The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company ('the Purchaser') requires the provision of Temporary Workers to carry out warehousing duties at the Ports Statutory Examination Area ('Examination Area'), comprising sheds and a TCEF (temperature-controlled examination facility). The warehousing duties comprise of, but are not limited to; handball (unloading and reloading containers (including requirement to reload cargo into the same container)); and small fork lift. The Purchaser works on behalf of the cargo agent to present goods for examination by any interested Government or statutory agency controlling the throughput of cargo at the Port's border ('Governing Agency'). The work involves regular, repetitive manual labour, with the use of fork lifts or powered pallet trucks to assist. The Purchaser expects to utilise on average 26,000 to 38,000 worked hours per year but the level of services required is not guaranteed and the Purchaser may award a contract to more than one supplier. See the full specification in the tender document.
