Summary of the contracting process

Wychavon District Council procured a café service at the Civic Centre in Pershore, England. The requirement is for the operation and delivery of cafeteria services for users of the council’s Civic Centre. It is a public-sector catering and hospitality service rather than a supply-only contract, and the work is delivered at the council’s Civic Centre site. The procurement is categorised as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is Angel Hill, OCS Group UK Limited, a large catering and facilities services business. Businesses considering comparable opportunities should therefore have the operational capability to provide a reliable on-site café service within a civic or workplace environment, with suitable staffing, food service systems and day-to-day customer service arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Angel Hill, OCS Group UK Limited on 1 April 2026. The awarded value is £46,000. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The deadline for tenders was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The council used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a completed cafeteria-services procurement. It is a single service requirement for the Civic Centre in Pershore, with one active award and one supplier. The award value and contract period relate to this individual award and are not combined with other lots or contracts.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand for an on-site café operation within a district council workplace. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need experience running staffed catering premises, serving a regular public-sector or workplace customer base, and maintaining consistent food quality, hygiene, opening routines and customer service. It would also need the capacity to manage procurement, staffing, stock, food safety and daily operations from a fixed civic-centre location. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist café operator could be competitive if it can evidence dependable service delivery, appropriate compliance arrangements and the resilience to operate throughout a multi-year council contract. The use of a framework call-off also makes framework access and effective call-off participation commercially relevant.
