The tender specifies a minimum supply of 1,809,954 litres in one-litre packages and a total value of €16 million, funded through the European Social Fund Plus. This is a procurement plan and budget, not a contract award or evidence that the oil has already been delivered.","The ministry places the purchase within Italy’s National Programme for Inclusion and the Fight Against Poverty for 2021–2027, under Priority 3 on combating material deprivation. It is also part of a 2027 food-distribution proposal approved by the Labour and Social Policies Ministry, with a total value of €130 million. The €130 million figure covers the broader proposal, not this olive-oil tender alone; the ministry’s release does not give a breakdown of the other items within that larger programme.","The tender is divided into four lots and will be conducted entirely online. Participation is reserved for economic operators admitted to Consip’s dynamic purchasing system for food and catering. The release describes the intended procurement route but does not name suppliers, give lot-by-lot quantities or explain how the minimum volume is divided among the lots. Nor does it report bids, prices achieved, award dates or delivery schedules.","AGEA is identified as the body responsible for launching the purchase and implementing the food-support intervention. The ministry says it coordinates with the Labour Ministry and AGEA, which is an intermediate body for food-aid measures financed by the European Social Fund Plus. That institutional arrangement links the procurement process with the wider anti-poverty programme, while leaving the implementation details to the tender documentation.","The product requirement is for extra-virgin olive oil with protected designation of origin or protected geographical indication, packed in one-litre units. DOP and IGP designations identify products under European quality schemes tied to origin and production specifications. The ministry frames the scheme as combining food assistance with support for a segment of Italian agricultural production, but the release provides no estimate of the share of the €16 million that will reach growers or processors, and no producer-price impact estimate.","The ministry said the tender notice and attachments would be published on AGEA’s website. Until those documents appear, the announcement gives the headline budget, minimum quantity, packaging and procurement structure but not the detailed technical specifications or calendar. The distinction matters: a planned volume is not yet a completed purchase, and an allocated European funding envelope is not the same as money already spent. The next verifiable milestones will be publication of tender documents, bids, an award and, later, delivery to food-aid channels."],"sections":[]},"corrections":[],"country":"IT","data":{"blocks":[{"description":{"ar":"ميزانية المناقصة والكمية الدنيا وعدد الحصص التي أعلنتها وزارة الزراعة الإيطالية.","de":"Vom italienischen Landwirtschaftsministerium bekannt gegebenes Ausschreibungsbudget, Mindestvolumen und Loszahl.","en":"Tender budget, minimum volume and lot count announced by the Italian agriculture ministry.","es":"Presupuesto, volumen mínimo y número de lotes anunciados por el Ministerio de Agricultura italiano.","fr":"Budget, volume minimal et nombre de lots annoncés par le ministère italien de l’Agriculture.","pt":"Orçamento do concurso, volume mínimo e número de lotes anunciados pelo ministério italiano da Agricultura.","tr":"İtalya Tarım Bakanlığının açıkladığı ihale bütçesi, asgari miktar ve lot sayısı."},"id":"italy-olive-oil-food-aid-tender","items":[{"basis":"target","label":{"ar":"قيمة مناقصة زيت DOP/IGP","de":"Ausschreibungsvolumen für DOP/IGP-Olivenöl","en":"Tender envelope for DOP/IGP extra-virgin olive oil","es":"Presupuesto de licitación de aceite DOP/IGP","fr":"Budget de l’appel d’offres pour l’huile DOP/IGP","pt":"Orçamento do concurso de azeite DOP/IGP","tr":"DOP/IGP sızma zeytinyağı ihale bütçesi"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"monthly","geography":"italy","id":"italy-esf-plus-olive-oil-tender-envelope","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"million-eur"},"period":"2026-10","unit":"million EUR","value":16},{"basis":"target","label":{"ar":"الحد الأدنى لكمية الزيت في المناقصة","de":"Mindestmenge des ausgeschriebenen Öls","en":"Minimum olive-oil volume in tender","es":"Volumen mínimo de aceite previsto","fr":"Volume minimal d’huile prévu","pt":"Volume mínimo de azeite previsto","tr":"İhaledeki asgari zeytinyağı miktarı"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"monthly","geography":"italy","id":"italy-dop-igp-olive-oil-tender-minimum-volume","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"litre"},"period":"2026-10","unit":"litres","value":1809954},{"basis":"observed","label":{"ar":"عدد حصص المناقصة","de":"Zahl der Vergabelose","en":"Number of procurement lots","es":"Número de lotes de contratación","fr":"Nombre de lots de marché","pt":"Número de lotes do concurso","tr":"Satın alma lotu sayısı"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"monthly","geography":"italy","id":"italy-olive-oil-procurement-lot-count","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"count"},"period":"2026-10","unit":"count","value":4}],"methodology":{"ar":"تمثل 16 مليون يورو الميزانية المخططة للمناقصة الممولة من الصندوق الاجتماعي الأوروبي بلس، وليست إنفاقاً أو ترسية مكتملة. و1,809,954 لتر هو الحد الأدنى للكمية المطلوبة. والحصص الأربع هي هيكل الشراء المعلن. أما مقترح توزيع الغذاء الأوسع بقيمة 130 مليون يورو لعام 2027 فلا يُضاف إلى المناقصة.","de":"Die 16 Millionen Euro sind das geplante, aus dem ESF+ finanzierte Ausschreibungsvolumen, keine Ausgabe und kein abgeschlossener Zuschlag. 1.809.954 Liter sind die Mindestmenge der Ausschreibung.
