Summary of the contracting process

Digital Catapult has initiated a Catering Services Framework Agreement valued at up to £180,000. This procurement process, classified under the catering services category, is currently in the Award stage, having published the award notice on 9 March 2021. The contract is set to commence on 8 March 2021 for an initial period of one year, with the possibility of two extensions of six months each. Services will primarily be delivered in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement method was an open procedure.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses in the catering industry, particularly those equipped to handle events without drink service unless exceptional circumstances arise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in catering services would be well-positioned to compete, especially given the lack of guaranteed volume or value of work. Firms like Strong Flavours Ltd, Seasoned Events Limited, and Easy Gourmet Catering have already been awarded contracts, indicating the competitive landscape for potential bidders.
