## Summary

The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is planning a procurement process for the provision of catering services for a new Barista Café within its recently constructed Student Centre located in Preston, England. This initiative is part of a £200 million capital investment programme aimed at transforming the Preston City Campus. The tender is set to commence, with the contract period beginning on 2nd August 2021 and concluding on 1st August 2025. The estimated value of this contract is £2 million, and businesses interested in this opportunity are encouraged to note the future notice date of 15th December 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in catering services, particularly those providing fresh food options and café services. The contract is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can deliver high-quality, modern catering solutions. As the new Student Centre serves not only the university community but also visitors to the city, those with experience in managing cafés in educational or public environments would be particularly competitive in this procurement process.

## Notice

The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is currently in the process of delivering a PS200m capital investment that will significantly transform the Preston City Campus. A landmark building, the PS57m Student Centre Building, provides a new heart for the University and a gateway from the City into the Campus, with enhanced public realm and a transformational new Square. The building will provide a welcome point for students, staff and visitors and delivers frontline student support services, and provides high quality student experience through the Student Social Learning spaces. The Student Centre is located in the heart of central Preston. UCLan is conducting a tender process to procure a catering partner for the provision of services for a new modern Barista Cafe with fresh food to go on the ground floor entrance to the new Student Centre building.
