Notice Title

GB-Brandon: Backstage Catering at Forest Live Concerts

Notice Description

Forestry Commission England is inviting tenders for backstage catering at Forest Live Music events held at forests in England. Some events operate on the same dates at two different locations. Therefore the contract will include two catering teams on each weekend. During 2016 we anticipate running a programme of 21 events over 7 weekends through June / July. All our concerts are held in rural outdoor locations, in clearings in the forest. All infrastructure and power is temporarily brought in to the venues for the events. The backstage catering service is a vital part of our artist's forest experience and the catering marquee tends to be the hub of the backstage area for artists, their crews and our backstage production teams. You must be fully self-contained providing: oYour own staff transport and provision to purchase fresh food daily oAll equipment to store and cook including: fridges, gas cookers, chillers and warmers, tea urns, toasters and chilled water dispensers. oChefs and staff to: prepare, cook, serve and wash up oAll china crockery and cutlery Additional information: To gain full access to the tender documentation you need to log in to our e-sourcing system. This can be done using your existing Delta eSourcing registration details or register via www.forestry.gov.uk/selltous if you have not registered before. Registration is free. The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
