## Summary

Nottingham Trent University is seeking suppliers for the "Provision of Catering Services for NTU-based Enabling Innovation Project Events" through an open tender process. The procurement, classified under catering services, is set to provide support for SMEs in the D2N2 area as part of a project funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The tender period closed on 16th November 2016, with the contract intended to begin on 1st December 2016 and run until 31st March 2019. The total estimated value of the contract is approximately £50,000, although this is indicative due to the varying nature of events planned. The services will be delivered across three campus locations in Nottingham, Clifton, and Brackenhurst.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for catering businesses, particularly those specialising in versatile event catering, including large seminars and smaller workshops. Given that Nottingham Trent University aims to engage a range of suppliers, businesses of various sizes, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to apply. This engagement may help suppliers establish long-term relationships with a prominent educational institution while also enhancing their portfolios through participation in diverse event formats.

## Notice

NTU, in partnership with University of Nottingham & University of Derby have been awarded funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to deliver innovation support to SMEs in the D2N2 (Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire) area, through the Enabling Innovation (EI) project. The support offered through EI will be delivered via a variety of formats including workshops, seminars, engagement events as well as individual technical & consultancy support. The project activity will run until March 2019 & will be delivered both at NTU & offsite. NTU has an in-house Catering Department that prepares meals & snacks for its staff & students on its three campuses based in Nottingham City Centre, at Clifton & at Brackenhurst, near Southwell. However, due to funding restrictions, it is not possible for catering requirements to be provided by these in-house catering facilities for this project. NB:- This tender only covers catering requirements for this specific project. All other on-site catering requirements will continue to be provided by our in-house catering provision. The requirement has been split into three separate Lots as follows:- LOT l - Provision of Catering Services to EI events held at the University's City Campus (mainly NG1 postcodes). LOT ll - Provision of Catering Services to EI events held at the University's Clifton Campus (NG11). LOT lll - Provision of Catering Services to EI events held at NTU's Brackenhurst Campus at Southwell (NG25). Please note the following points:- * Tenderers are invited to tender for any or all of the above Lots. * For questions where responses would differ depending on the campus location, tenderers who are tendering for more than one Lot should provide details relating to the provision of catering services to the Campus concerned for each Lot. The Contract shall be awarded for the life of the project activity which will run until March 2019. The anticipated start date of the contract is 1st December 2016. It is estimated that the contract will have an approximate total value of PS50K (ex VAT) over the life of the project activity. It is not possible to break this down into spend for each Lot but it is anticipated that spend will be higher for Lot l than for Lots ll & lll. This figure is entirely indicative & should not be construed as a guarantee of future business levels, which may fluctuate. The estimated value given above is subject to the following factors:- - The type of event being held (i.e. seminar, workshop, meeting or large event). - The number of delegates (this could range from 5 - 30 for meetings & workshops to 30 - 300 for seminars & large events). - The frequency of events held (indicatively 6 events per month but events held off-site will not fall into the scoof this tender. Menu requirements including but not limited to breakfasts, hot/cold buffet lunches, canapes etc (exact requirements will vary depending on the type of event being held) Additional information: In order to be involved in this tender process, please register your company details on the website above if not already registered.
