Located at 101 Euston Road, London, this procurement falls under the catering services industry category (CPV Code: 55520000). The tender is at the open procurement stage, with a submission deadline for proposals set on 26th May 2020. The initial contract is set to begin on 22nd June 2020 and will last for one year, with potential extensions of up to six months each, for a total estimated value of £180,000. This opportunity presents a significant growth avenue for catering businesses capable of delivering quality food service at various events ranging from small bespoke dinners to large receptions for up to 250 guests. Ideal candidates are those with experience in offsite catering and the ability to prepare and deliver ready-to-serve meals, particularly cold cuisine suitable for the unique requirements of Digital Catapult’s open plan event space. Bidders are encouraged to apply for either or both of the two available lots, maximising their chances of collaboration with Digital Catapult. ## Notice Digital Catapult is seeking catering partner/s to supply a range of fresh, healthy and beautifully presented buffet style breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, as well as canapes for evening receptions and bespoke dinners across all its events. It is important to note that catering services will be required when the events take place. The catering partner is not expected to provide drinks unless in exceptional circumstances. The Centre is a unique open plan space with great views across London, with no onsite cooking equipment and extremely limited food-preparation spaces, so successful caterers will work around these restrictions, preparing all or most catering entirely offsite, to be delivered ready to serve on arrival.Although this does not preclude hot food, the expectation is that most, if not all, food will be served cold. Food can be re-heated only and no cooking is allowed. Guest numbers for daytime events vary from 20-200; evening guests range from 20-200; bespoke dinners range from 10-20 people. In exceptional circumstances, the Centre hosts evening events for up to 250 people. Digital Catapult has undertaken an assessment of the ongoing requirements under this framework agreement and, in order to ensure supply high quality provisions, has deemed it to be suitable for division into two lots as follows: LOT 1 - Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Tea Provisions LOT 2 - Canapes for Evening Reception and Bespoke Dinners Bidders are therefore invited to submit a proposal for any one or both lots. It is anticipated that a maximum of two (2) catering suppliers will be appointed to each Lot of the Framework Agreement (and a supplier may be on one or more of the Lots). The initial Contract term shall be 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. However, based on approximate historical spend, it is anticipated that the maximum total value (including any extensions) for this Framework may be in the region of 180,000 GBP. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/411dd560-6175-4d2f-8363-e25b18c6d1c4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | 26 May 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Jun 2020 - 21 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DIGITAL CATAPULT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 2RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55520000 - Catering services ## Release History - 5 May 2020 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/411dd560-6175-4d2f-8363-e25b18c6d1c4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/411dd560-6175-4d2f-8363-e25b18c6d1c4 5th May 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY159744 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.digicatapult.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
