The University of Wolverhampton Enterprise Limited is seeking to outsource the provision of a Coffee Shop-Bar Outlet Service within the Arena Theatre, located in Wolverhampton, England. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with an active closing date for submissions set for 30th April 2019 at 11 AM. The contract will initially be awarded for a pilot project lasting 13 months, with the possibility of extension up to a total of 5 years, dependent on the success of the service. This opportunity falls under the catering services industry and involves managing a bar and coffee shop open six days a week, with a specific emphasis on providing consistent service to students, staff, and community users. The required services include the provision of equipment and consumables by the contractor.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in catering and hospitality services. Businesses capable of providing a diverse range of food and beverage services, including a coffee bar and alcohol provisions, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The venture will entail not just the immediate management of the outlet but potentially the recruitment and support of existing staff under the TuPE regulations, thus requiring a focus on employee rights and continuity whenever transitioning to an outsourced service provider.
