Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the catering and hospitality services under the title "Catering and hospitality - CM3376" is being managed by Yorkshire Water Services Limited, a private utility located in Bradford, United Kingdom. The specific project involves catering services at the Leeds Valley Business Park to accommodate 750 desks, providing 24/7 services including manned and unmanned offerings. The procurement is in the award stage, concluding with the award notice on 26th May 2026, and the contract is set to start on 8th June 2026, lasting initially for four years with a possible three-year extension. The procurement was conducted using a selective method within the utilities regime, with Gather & Gather Limited selected as the supplier for the contract valued at £880,000 net (£1,056,000 gross). The contract includes catering services suitable for canteen and event settings, confirming the procurement category as services.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses adept in hospitality services, especially those capable of delivering comprehensive food service operations that include around-the-clock offerings. Companies specialising in catering services for large office environments and possessing the operational capacity to manage unstaffed services alongside manned services would be well-suited for this engagement. Additionally, businesses that can provide a mix of hospitality services for meetings and events will find ample opportunities to cultivate long-term partnerships with Yorkshire Water. The procurement process highlights a competitive flexible method, which can be particularly beneficial for companies keen to engage in a responsive dialogue and showcase their adaptability in service offerings and operational efficiency.
