This opportunity, titled "Catering Services at British Consulate-General San Francisco Official Residence and Business Office," is classified under the industry category of catering services for enterprises. The tender will conclude on 23rd March 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 1st April 2018 and run for one year, culminating on 31st March 2019. The procurement method is a limited competitive quotation, focused on services with a total value between £10,000 and £25,000, open to a variety of delivery addresses within the UK and beyond. This tender presents significant opportunities for catering businesses, particularly those with experience in providing services for high-profile events and meetings. Companies that specialise in offering tailored catering solutions, including accommodating dietary requirements and providing alcohol, will be particularly well-suited to compete. The expected frequency of at least two events per month offers the potential for consistent revenue and relationship building with a prestigious client. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this opportunity, given the competitive nature of the procurement process. ## Notice We require catering services at both the official Residence (a single family home in Presidio Terrace) and business office (a leased property on the 8th floor of 1 Sansome Street in the Financial District) of the British Consulate-General San Francisco (BCGSF). Catering may take the form of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, or receptions. We may or may not require the successful bidder to purchase and serve alcohol at various events. Specific menus will be agreed between the successful menu and BCGSF staff on a by event basis. Special menus meeting various dietary requirements may be necessary. We anticipate at least two catering events at either property per month but do not guarantee a minimum. Some months may have several events and there may even be multiple events in the same week. We anticipate providing at least 5 business days' notice for events but there may be occasions where less notice is possible. Please describe how you will meet these minimum requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac681793-36aa-405e-bdf5-1a67044d4983 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 23 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH CONSULATE GENERAL | | Locality | SAN FRANCISCO | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | S W1A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55523000 - Catering services for other enterprises or other institutions ## Release History - 16 Mar 2018 at 00:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac681793-36aa-405e-bdf5-1a67044d4983 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac681793-36aa-405e-bdf5-1a67044d4983 16th March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9137be5a-3d19-4b44-af75-963696aec4ca Scope of Work USF-1718-03 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
