This opportunity encompasses various food service options including a café, delivered catering, and event catering. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the tender expected to open in October 2019. The contract is anticipated to start on 1st August 2020, extending over a period of 5 to 7 years, with a total estimated value of £1.12 million. The industry category falls under cafeteria services as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and the tender is being conducted under the Light Touch Regime. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the catering sector, particularly for local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary-community social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies providing cafeteria, canteen, and catering services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. With an expected increasing student population at the campus and a daily influx of commercial clients, there is potential for robust revenue generation, as evidenced by historical sales figures from the existing café facility. ## Notice The University of Bristol (UoB) will be tendering for the provision of outsourced catering services at its Langford Campus in North Somerset, inclusive of a cafe providing hot/cold beverages, grab-and-go food and eat-in options, alongside delivered catering and working lunches around campus and event catering where necessary. This opportunity is being tendered to attract catering organisations that can occupy the premises and operate under licence to provide the cafe refreshment provision to the stakeholders. In addition, the kitchen premises could be used for commercial purposes as part of outsourced services provision. The main population of the Langford campus is made up of the Vet School and commercial business. There is a growing student population with circa 900 students on site and 114 additional coming on board this academic year who will remain on site with live-in accommodation. The UoB Engineering Faculty will be establishing a site at Langford campus, bringing more students on site. Demolition will start in summer 2019 with a view to be up and running in summer 2020. In addition to this, 70-80 commercial clients are coming on site every day to use the Veterinary services who may use the cafe. Turnover: In the 2017-18 academic year, the gross sales figures for the existing cafe facility were 171 732 GBP (144 099,63 GBP net) and the current academic year, gross sales are 187 844 GBP (157 270 GBP net).
