The total contract value is £220,000 and the contract period is proposed to commence on 1st April 2019, lasting until 31st March 2021. The procurement method being utilised is an open procedure, aligning with the UK's Public Contracts Regulations 2015, specifically under the light touch regime. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the catering sector, particularly those experienced in providing high-quality services for events and meetings.

The Events Centre supports the commissioning and delivery process for recruiting, educating and training doctors, nurses and other clinicians in the London region and nationally, and its activities include recruitment programmes, professional reviews, training courses, workshops, conferences, business meetings and executive committees. The Catering Service will include the provision of catering for a variety of these events, for HEE and NHS staff. Other types of periodic events may also take place from time to time and require catering services - e.g. open days, private parties, etc. The supplier will need to be flexible, and offer an "out of hours" service as well as during normal events centre opening hours.
