## Summary

The Ordnance Survey, Great Britain's mapping agency, has concluded the procurement process for catering and hospitality services at its headquarters, Explorer House in Southampton, Hampshire. The tender was focused on providing comprehensive catering services to employees, tenants, and visitors, with operational hours from 6:30 am to 7:00 pm, Monday to Friday. The procurement, categorised under 'Canteen and catering services' in the CPV scheme, has been awarded to CH&CO Catering Limited with a contract period beginning 2 June 2026 and concluding on 1 June 2029. The total contract value is £1,050,000, and the procurement stage has been updated to 'complete' as of 5 June 2026.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in catering and hospitality, particularly those capable of exceeding basic contract requirements by introducing innovative service offerings. While the selected supplier, CH&CO Catering Limited, will service the primary needs of Ordnance Survey and its associates, businesses with a strategic interest in large-scale corporate catering and a presence in hampering logistics across multiple regions, including the UK and abroad, would be well-suited to similar opportunities in the future.
