Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is managed by The University Caterers Organisation Ltd (TUCO Ltd) for the provision of recruitment services specifically for temporary and permanent catering staff across the UK. This tender falls under the services category, with a value of £20 million and is currently in the active stage of the selective procurement method, which is a restricted procedure due to its value exceeding the threshold. The contract is set to commence on 1 September 2016 and will conclude on 31 August 2021. The end of the tender period was on 12 February 2016, and modifications have been made to extend the framework by an additional year due to unforeseeable circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This opportunity could significantly benefit businesses involved in recruitment and hospitality services, particularly those that specialise in catering staff. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for this tender, as the procurement process allows for their participation. Given the broad geographical scope covering locations in England, the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey, catering firms and recruitment agencies with operational capabilities in these areas stand to gain from this contract, especially in providing flexible staffing solutions in a post-pandemic market.
