## Summary

The Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council is currently seeking a Kitchen and Catering Partner for West Cheshire Museums. This procurement falls under the services main category, specifically within the hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services industry, with a focus on catering for coffee shop food items and event functions. The tender period ends on 28 February 2022, at 17:00, with the contract expected to commence on 23 March 2022 and run until 31 March 2022. Potential providers are encouraged to express their interest through the Chest platform.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the catering and hospitality sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Candidates with expertise in café-style food service and event catering would be well-positioned to compete, especially those capable of catering for varying events at museum sites in Northwich. With multiple service offerings required, businesses that can provide a diverse range of catering options, including baked goods and afternoon teas, will likely find this procurement attractive for growth.

## Notice

There would also be a potential opportunity for the organisation to cater for evening functions, bake bread and supply other outlets. Interested parties must respond via the Chest www.the-chest.org.uk with their expression of interest and any associated questions by no later than 17:00 on Monday 28 February 2022.
