Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is seeking to establish a Cafeteria services contract located in Stratford, London, with an anticipated publication date for the tender in February 2020. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement deadline set for 31st January 2020. Companies interested in this opportunity should refer to the Early Engagement Notice published on Contracts Finder for additional details and next steps.

This contract presents a beneficial opportunity for catering and hospitality businesses looking to expand their service offerings. Specifically, companies capable of providing quality beverage services and simple food options would be well-suited to compete. Businesses should consider their capacity to operate in a limited kitchen environment, as the facility will not have a full kitchen with mechanical extraction, thus focusing on a streamlined product range is essential for success.

Notice Title

Cafe/Catering Contract (Stratford) PIN

Notice Description

The purpose of this notice is to alert any interested economic operators that the British Council intends to tender its contract requirements for the provision of cafe/catering and hospitality services. It is anticipated that the contract will be in a single lot and will be published in February 2020. A Cafe facility will be prominently located on Ground Floor adjacent to the main building reception and is expected to operate as the 'hub' of the building. Whilst there are on-site support facilities, these are limited and do not provide a full kitchen with mechanical extraction. Therefore, the product range is expected to revolve around a quality beverage service, cold and warm simple dishes and all-day food requirements Additional information: If you are interested in expressing an interest and/or bidding for this project, please go to https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil .
