Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council, a regional authority, has successfully completed the procurement process for a joint venture partnership aimed at catering and facilities management (FM) services. The contract, under the title "Nottinghamshire County Council - Joint Venture Partner - Catering and FM," is valued at £3.7 billion and will be active for an initial period of five years, with an option to extend to a maximum of ten years. This procurement, identified as "ocds-h6vhtk-04876e," follows a competitive dialogue procedure and is part of the services category, specifically focusing on catering services under the CPV code 55520000. The award was made on 7th May 2025, and the contract covers regions including UKF15 and UKF16. The selected supplier, Vertas Group Limited, will undertake various tasks such as providing these services to the Authority, schools, and managing third-party revenue growth through the County Enterprise Foods business.

This joint venture presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the catering and facilities management fields. Companies with expertise in providing comprehensive management and operational services in these sectors will find this contract particularly lucrative. Given the scale and long-term nature of the contract, larger firms with a solid track record in managing substantial facilities and catering projects will be well-suited to leverage this opportunity to expand their operations. Additionally, businesses capable of innovative service delivery and revenue growth initiatives, especially in educational institutions and large public sector environments, will be in a strong position to benefit from this partnership. The blend of catering, facilities management, and potential for third-party revenue expansion creates a robust platform for growth and increased market presence.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Continued from II.1.4 - The joint venture will operate for an initial period of 5 years with an option to extend to 5 years (a maximum duration of 10 years). The duration of contracts awarded to the joint venture will however vary. Additional information: The estimated value represents the current turnover of the range of services as presently delivered by the Council to its customers (a breakdown is set out in the procurement documents). However, potential returns will depend on many commercial factors including (but not limited to) the performance of the Provider and market conditions. These indicative figures are estimated values and the services delivered by the JV may increase or decrease (in scope and volume) and so actual demand and usage may differ over the term of the JV.
