## Summary

Digital Catapult has initiated a Catering Services Framework Agreement valued at up to £180,000. This procurement process, classified under the catering services category, is currently in the Award stage, having published the award notice on 9 March 2021. The contract is set to commence on 8 March 2021 for an initial period of one year, with the possibility of two extensions of six months each. Services will primarily be delivered in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement method was an open procedure.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses in the catering industry, particularly those equipped to handle events without drink service unless exceptional circumstances arise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in catering services would be well-positioned to compete, especially given the lack of guaranteed volume or value of work. Firms like Strong Flavours Ltd, Seasoned Events Limited, and Easy Gourmet Catering have already been awarded contracts, indicating the competitive landscape for potential bidders.

## Notice

The catering services will be required when events take place. The catering partners are not expected to provide drinks unless in exceptional circumstances. The initial Contract term is for a period of one (1) year, with an option for Digital Catapult to extend for up to two (2) further periods of up to six (6) months each, at its discretion. Digital Catapult does not guarantee any volume or value of work from this Catering Services Framework Agreement. The maximum total value (including any extensions) for the entire Framework is up to 180,000 GBP.
