Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Students, located in Bristol, UK, has completed a contract for London Office Catering, which involves providing breakfast and lunch buffets for office catering and occasional evening functions. The contract, valued at £68,000, was awarded to Berkeley Catering and ran from 1st March 2019 to 28th February 2022, following a selective procurement method. The tender period concluded on 18th February 2019, marking the transition into the contract execution phase.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in catering services, particularly those with experience in large-scale office catering and event management. Given the emphasis on voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE), organisations that fit this profile and can offer innovative solutions for office dining would stand to benefit. The competitive nature of the contract also highlights the demand for high-quality catering services in the public sector, which could encourage new entrants and established firms to engage in similar tenders in the future.
