## Summary

The National Archives is currently in the planning stage for a Catering Concession Contract located in Kew, TW9 4DU. The procurement process is initiated with an engagement notice published on October 11, 2021, inviting expressions of interest. Interested parties must register their interest by email by midday on October 29, 2021. The contract is expected to commence in April 2022, lasting for an initial period of three years with the possibility of two one-year extensions, and aims to provide catering services for both public visitors and staff at no cost to the organisation.

This opportunity presents a valuable prospect for small to medium-sized enterprises, particularly local suppliers, looking to expand their business within the catering industry. With a current turnover of approximately £5,000 per week from its existing catering operations, suitable bidders may benefit from engaging with The National Archives to establish a potentially lucrative partnership. The forthcoming Invitation to Tender, anticipated for release at the end of November, will allow competitors the chance to pitch their services following site visits arranged for interested parties.

## Notice

The National Archives welcomes expressions of interest in a proposed catering concession contract, to be delivered at its site in Kew TW9 4DU. We envisage this contract commencing in April 2022, for an initial period of three years with two one-year extension options. The contract must be delivered to The National Archives at NIL cost. This is a small to medium scale contract, with the current catering solution - which caters to both public and staff - generating a turnover of circa PS5,000 per week. As such, we believe this opportunity is particularly suitable for local suppliers. If this is an opportunity that is of interest to you, please register your interest by emailing procurement@nationalarchives.gov.uk by midday on Friday, October 29th. We envisage publishing the Invitation to Tender at the end of November, preceded by site visits for interested parties.
