What this opportunity is looking for

This request concerns Swedish Helles lager in returnable glass. A matching origin or category is only the first step: the complete official specification, sensory requirements, packaging conditions, documentation, supply and commercial terms must also align.

Product requirements

  • Maximum 5% ABV; flavourful, nuanced Helles lager with restrained hop character and balanced bitterness.
  • Producer must be established in Sweden and the brand registered or primarily marketed as Swedish; contract-brewed products are excluded.
  • Delivery in blue returnable crates is required; a service agreement complying with the return-system owner's guidelines must be available before launch.
  • PCF values must be reported by the launch-sample deadline.
  • Tender samples must use the offered packaging type and size; winning fixed-assortment supplier must provide one extra sample within four days of notification. Maximum one product per producer.
