Consolidation of Goods

This tender concerns the consolidation and transportation of goods within Switzerland, primarily for the BLS (Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon railway company). The service focuses on non-dangerous goods, which constitute approximately 99% of the shipments. The types of goods to be transported are diverse and include, but are not limited to, standard Europe pallets (80 cm x 120 cm), double pallets (80 cm x 240 cm), wheel sets, engines, brake discs, and cable reels. All goods are expected to be prepared for freight and transport, either by being packaged appropriately or loaded onto suitable transport carriers. A key requirement is that the cargo must be secured on the vehicle using appropriate means, such as a tensioning kit. Each shipment will be clearly marked with both the sender's and the recipient's addresses. Loading operations are typically performed from the rear of the transport vehicle. However, the tender acknowledges that certain types of goods may necessitate side loading due to their specific characteristics. This service is crucial for ensuring efficient and safe logistics operations for BLS within the Swiss domestic market, covering a wide range of freight types and handling requirements.

This is a services contract in the transport and logistics sector, with a focus on Freight and Logistics. Located in Switzerland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
