This tender aims to enhance catering and retail services at the hospital, which presently offers limited options for staff and visitors. The procurement, classified under hotel, restaurant and retail trade services, is being conducted as an open procedure with a tender period ending on 3 May 2022. The expected contract term is a minimum of five years, starting from 5 September 2022, with the potential for an additional five-year extension. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses focusing on catering and retail services, especially those looking to partner with public healthcare institutions. Both established providers and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as social enterprises, are encouraged to participate. The flexible packaging of the opportunity into lots allows bidders to tailor their proposals according to their strengths, thereby maximizing competitive advantage and meeting social value requirements that the Trust prioritises. ## Notice The purpose of this procurement exercise is to develop catering & retail opportunities at WGH. Current services are limited to a staff restaurant, a volunteer-run cafe and vending. However, a public procurement exercise will be required, albeit light touch, to ensure a fair and transparent process. A desired outcome will be a minimum 5-year contract (with potential extension of a further 5 years) with a base and turnover based rent arrangement along with some inward investment to ensure any facilities looks professional and well managed. This will be an open procurement to ensure the field is open to all including SMEs, social enterprises and local businesses along with established providers. The opportunity will be available in lots or as one package so that the Trust receive the maximum economic benefit and also meet social value requirements.
