This procurement falls within the catering services industry and is located in London, specifically at SW1A 0AA. Currently in the Tender stage, the procurement aims to appoint between three to five suppliers across two lots: Front of House and Back of House. The contract is expected to commence on 10 July 2017 and will run for three years with the possibility of a one-year extension, with a tender submission deadline of 12.00 noon (UK time) on 13 June 2017. The estimated annual spend is between £400,000 and £600,000, although this may decrease over time due to changing working practices. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in catering services. Companies well-suited to compete for this contract should have the capacity to provide qualified and suitably cleared agency staff for both front and back of house roles. Participating in this framework can lead to consistent work for the duration of the contract and potentially establish long-term relationships with a prestigious client within the public sector, thereby enhancing growth prospects in the catering industry. ## Notice The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons and the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords (the Authority), requires a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 suppliers who can provide Catering Agency Staff to both Houses. The requirements will be split into 2 separate lots, covering the following areas: Lot 1 - Front of House Lot 2 - Back of House The Authority intends to appoint a maximum of 5 contractors per lot for this agreement. The approximate annual spend is estimated to be between PS400,000 and PS600,000. This spend is expected to decrease over the course of the contract due to a shift in working practices with regards to Agency Staff. The framework agreement will be for the period of three years plus one year extension. The contract start date is expected to be Monday 10 July 2017. Each of the successful Contractors shall agree to provide the Services under the terms of the Framework Agreement. Individual requirements will be placed following pricing competition between all members of the Framework Agreement who have the capacity to provide suitably cleared and qualified staff.
