This procurement process is classified under catering services and will begin with an open tender procedure. The tender was published on 6th November 2020, with a submission deadline set for 12:00 on 4th December 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 1st January 2021 and will run until 30th June 2024. Interested suppliers should note that the estimated contract value ranges from £25,000 to £50,000, and the services will be delivered in the East Midlands region of the UK. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage with a well-known educational institution. Businesses that provide catering services, particularly those capable of accommodating small orders at short notice, will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Those offering a diverse catering menu, including beverages, snacks, and light lunches for groups of up to 80 people, may have an advantageous position in the bidding process, enhancing their exposure and potential for growth within the university sector. ## Notice The Provision of Catering Services for a number of ERDF funded projects at University of Leicester.
