Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd, formerly The ACC Group Liverpool, procured a managed service for casual catering staff at its Liverpool operation. The requirement covers supplying temporary catering personnel and managing the workforce, including staff rostering, attendance administration and mandatory training. It also includes associated payroll services. The procurement is for services in Liverpool and is intended to support the campus’s catering activity. The selected provider is Compass Contract Services Limited, a large supplier based in Birmingham and part of Compass Group. The requirement combines labour supply with the operational administration needed to organise, monitor, train and pay casual catering staff, rather than being limited to recruitment or payroll alone.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Compass Contract Services Limited on 25 February 2026. The contract was signed on 9 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its gross value is £72,000. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot covered the complete requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation details recorded for this below-threshold award do not identify a competitive scoring basis; the route was direct award without competition. The contract therefore represents an established purchasing decision by Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd for a two-year casual catering staffing and management service.

This requirement is commercially relevant to suppliers that can provide casual or temporary catering personnel and take responsibility for the associated workforce operation. A credible competitor would need the capacity to source and manage staff, maintain reliable rostering and attendance processes, deliver mandatory training, and administer payroll accurately. The awarded model indicates that the buyer values an integrated service covering both people supply and back-office management, rather than separate providers for each task. Experience supporting catering operations, handling variable staffing requirements and maintaining compliance records would strengthen a supplier’s position when demonstrating capability. The incumbent is a large Compass Group company, suggesting that scale, operational infrastructure and established workforce-management systems are relevant benchmarks for future competition.
