Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by FORHOUSING LIMITED, a regional agency based in Eccles, United Kingdom, concerns the provision of outsourced catering services. Under the ESPO Framework Reference 704_22, the buyer has completed the award stage to Caterplus Services Limited, a supplier located in Macclesfield, UK. Catering services include meals such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner for residents and guests at Amblecoat Gardens and Brooke Gardens in the UKD region. The procurement falls under the "canteen and catering services" category, aligning with CPV code 55500000, and was conducted through a limited procedure without prior publication, justified as outside the directive's scope. The contract was signed on 1 August 2025, with a value of £2,088,763.80.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in catering services. Given the focus on quality (60%) alongside price (40%) as award criteria, businesses with high standards of service and competitive pricing are well-positioned to succeed. Companies with expertise in providing comprehensive meal services in residential settings are encouraged to consider this framework and similar entities for future competition timelines. Leveraging such contracts can enhance market visibility and revenue streams, particularly within the thriving community amenities sector where demand for quality catering solutions persists.
