Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of catering services at Lagan Valley Island in Lisburn, Co Antrim. The contract, with a value of £180,000 GBP, was signed on January 1, 2023. The buying organisation is seeking a supplier for catering services, with Stepping Stones currently fulfilling the contract. The procurement method used was the "Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition". The tender process initiated in August 2022 to establish a Franchise Agreement proved unsuccessful, leading to a direct award to the incumbent supplier.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses in the catering industry, particularly SMEs with experience in providing catering services for events and conferences. Businesses located in or willing to operate in the Lisburn region can benefit from this contract. The award presents a chance for suppliers to demonstrate their capacity to deliver high-quality catering services in line with the council's requirements. Interested businesses should consider the challenges faced by the hospitality industry, such as staff shortages and inflationary pressures, to tailor their proposals effectively and secure future procurement opportunities.
