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.
