Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the awarding of a contract by ORE Catapult, stationed in Glasgow, United Kingdom, to Olivia's Kitchen Limited, based in Gateshead. The tender is titled "Catering Services (Blyth) Framework" and falls under the services category. It primarily focuses on providing high-quality catering services for various occasions, such as conferences and corporate events. The procurement method is categorised as direct and falls below the threshold, indicating a non-competitive approach due to specific preconditions. The award phase has been completed, and the contract was officially signed on 28 April 2026. The services are set to commence on 12 May 2026 and will initially last for 12 months, with the possibility of three annual extensions, reaching a potential end date in 2030.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for catering companies, particularly those that can deliver exceptional service for high-profile events and corporate functions. Smaller enterprises, such as Olivia's Kitchen Limited, classified as an SME, are particularly well-suited to these opportunities, with potential growth stemming from excellent service delivery. Engaging in such contracts can provide businesses with stable revenue streams and the chance to build lasting relationships with key organisations like ORE Catapult, enabling further expansion within the public procurement sector.
