This procurement, classified under canteen and catering services, is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions accepted until 20 December 2018. The contract is set to run for up to three years starting from 24 March 2019, with an option to extend for an additional two years.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in catering services, particularly those focusing on high standards of hygiene and safety in food preparation.
