This contract involves catering services, specifically for running a small café and providing catering for council events, set in the retail and café industry categories. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for bid submissions of 12 noon on 9 December 2019. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1 February 2020 and continue until 31 January 2023, with a total estimated value of £4,750,000 and a minimum value of £475,000. Tenderers must hold a minimum Food Hygiene rating of Level 4 and may need to prepare food off-site due to limited facilities. This tender opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in catering and retail services. Given the nature of the requirements, businesses that can provide diverse menu options, from hot meals to catering for events, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, the successful bidder will gain ongoing patronage from local government events, enhancing their visibility and reputation within the community. ## Notice The Forum Cafe and Catering Services This Contract is for a concession to run a small Cafe as well as catering services for the Council. It is expected that hot & cold beverages, breakfast & lunch options, snacks, sandwiches, pastries and fruit will be served. It is important to note that a hot food offering should be available for both breakfast and lunch service however, due to the limited cooking facilities and location of the cafe within the forum it is anticipated that the offering will be limited to avoid unwanted cooking odours rising into the office area above. The successful bidder will also be required to provide a catering service (buffet type food) for meetings and council run events. A tariff for this should be included within your response. The current provider has confirmed that TUPE does apply. Tenderers must have a minimum Food Hygiene rating of Level 4 at their present location. Tenderers may have to prepare/cook food at another location as there are limited cooking facilities, air extraction and food preparation space.
