Lot Information

Lot 1

National Galleries Scotland are looking to procure a sole Service Provider for the provision of daytime catering services to the public at two cafes in the Gallery of Modern Art. The Scottish Gallery of Modern Art consists of two premises on Belford Road; Modern One and Modern Two (formally the Dean Gallery), a cafe operates from each premise. In addition, the successful Service Provider will join a limited panel of external caterers, whose services may be selected for the provision of function/event catering. Therefore, National Galleries Scotland require the Service Provider to market and sell both sites as a function venue to corporate and private clients, offering their services for events both during the day and evening. A further key requirement for the successful delivery of services will be on-site Contract Management as Caterers will be expected to work alongside the Gallery brand, remaining consistent with the Galleries' brand values. The cafes are a valuable asset to the National Gallery and should be considered as a destination in their own right. Their reputation in regards to quality, value and customer service enhances the overall gallery attraction and visitor experience and therefore, Service Providers should be considerate of the Galleries' Audience and Exhibition Programmes. The objectives of this procurement for the National Galleries are to obtain best value for money, comply with European Legislation and arrive at a way of working that is beneficial and transparent for the National Galleries and Service Provider alike. This procurement will be conducted through the use of the Restricted Procedure. The ESPD will be used as a downsizing tool in this procedure. It is the National Galleries intention to shortlist to a maximum of 5 Service Providers but National Galleries Scotland reserves the right to invite in excess of this number of Service Providers in the event of a tie. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The objective criteria for shortlisting candidates is detailed under section III of this Contract Notice.. The contract will run for a period of 60 months with the option to extend the contract by a variable period not exceeding 24 months.
