Summary of the contracting process

The Eurostar Group has initiated a procurement process to award contracts for onboard and ground services. The procurement is governed by Belgian law under the Utilities Directive 2014/25/EU, incorporating elements from the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement is divided into two lots: Lot 1 for food and beverage services onboard and Lot 2 for hospitality and catering services in Eurostar lounges. This tender notice, published on 5 November 2024, presents an opportunity for suppliers to participate through a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. The key dates include the invitation to tender in late January 2025, site visits in mid-February 2025, an award period in March 2026, and the commencement of the new contract in October 2026. Interested suppliers must submit their completed applications and required documents via the designated eProcurement platform by 5 December 2024.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in catering, hospitality, and customer services. Companies with expertise in meal preparation and catering services that can provide high-quality food and beverage offerings, both onboard and in lounges, stand to benefit greatly. Additionally, suppliers capable of delivering comprehensive hospitality services will find this contract appealing. Given the scale and scope of services required across various European locations including the UK, Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands, both well-established firms and those looking to expand geographically will find this tender lucrative. With a total contract value of EUR 1,486,000,000, spread over an extended contract period with possible renewals, the opportunity provides ample potential for significant business development.
