Summary of the contracting process

The Parliament UK is seeking to establish a framework agreement for Catering Agency Staff through the tender titled "FWK1106-Catering Agency Staff." This procurement falls within the catering services industry and is located in London, specifically at SW1A 0AA. Currently in the Tender stage, the procurement aims to appoint between three to five suppliers across two lots: Front of House and Back of House. The contract is expected to commence on 10 July 2017 and will run for three years with the possibility of a one-year extension, with a tender submission deadline of 12.00 noon (UK time) on 13 June 2017. The estimated annual spend is between £400,000 and £600,000, although this may decrease over time due to changing working practices.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in catering services. Companies well-suited to compete for this contract should have the capacity to provide qualified and suitably cleared agency staff for both front and back of house roles. Participating in this framework can lead to consistent work for the duration of the contract and potentially establish long-term relationships with a prestigious client within the public sector, thereby enhancing growth prospects in the catering industry.
