UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is currently in the tender stage, seeking to procure barista-style coffee and cold food mobile catering services. This public procurement process is classified under the "services" category and is governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations. Spanning fifteen distinct locations across the borough, including Tannaghmore Gardens and Lurgan Park, the contract holds particular relevance for those involved in the catering services industry. The procurement method employed is open competition, with the tender closing on 18th February 2026. The contracts are due to commence on 1st April 2026 and may be extended beyond their original two-year term by two additional years, subject to approval.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in mobile catering services, especially those that are keen to expand their operations within the sub-central government sector. SMEs proficient in delivering quality food and beverage services can thrive, given the high emphasis on cost-effectiveness (75% of the award criteria) alongside quality (25%). The project's division into multiple ‘lots’ across various locations allows smaller enterprises to compete for one or several contracts, thereby facilitating broader market access. Companies positioned to provide high-standard, economically viable catering solutions are ideally suited for this procurement opportunity aimed at promoting business growth within the local community.
