The engagement end date for this assessment is set for 10th September 2018. The planning process is directly related to the catering contract arrangements at these sites, aimed at evaluating market options prior to a possible competitive tendering exercise, as the current contracts expired on 31st March 2017. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in catering and food service, particularly those looking to expand their portfolios in public sector contracts. Companies with expertise in restaurant and catering services, especially those capable of delivering across multiple sites in the South West region of the United Kingdom, would be particularly well-suited to engage in this market assessment, as it may lead to future tenders following the evaluation process. ## Notice Cornwall Council is reviewing options around our catering services at three of our corporate sites. * New County Hall, Truro, TR1 3AY. * Chy Trevail, Bodmin, PL31 2QE. * Porthpean Outdoor Education Centre, St Austell, PL26 6AZ. The catering contract arrangements at each site expire on 31 March 2017. We would welcome your participation in a soft market assessment. This preliminary market assessment, which is purely investigatory in nature, will assist the Council in defining any future potential around changes to our current arrangements. This information is being gathered solely for the purpose of a high-level assessment of market options by the Council. It is not in any way a tendering exercise, although it will assist the Council in understanding the merits of a competitive tendering exercise should the Council choose to do this. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ed4fe7a-8925-447f-9955-be6790d676d7 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Sep 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Sep 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55300000 - Restaurant and food-serving services - 55520000 - Catering services ## Release History - 10 Sep 2018 at 08:55 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ed4fe7a-8925-447f-9955-be6790d676d7 - 10 Sep 2018 at 08:54 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b3669b1-5437-404e-8448-e9a1cfd25b1e - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b3669b1-5437-404e-8448-e9a1cfd25b1e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ed4fe7a-8925-447f-9955-be6790d676d7 10th September 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b3669b1-5437-404e-8448-e9a1cfd25b1e 10th September 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ecb60af1-e7d6-4834-a92b-403ecd787555 Soft Market Assessment for Catering to Corporate Premises - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5ca19086-0166-44e4-9245-15a4c0949cf0 Soft Market Assessment for Catering to Corporate Premises - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fa58b1f1-3350-4a2f-8d32-768956fd265f Soft Market Assessment for Catering to Corporate Premises ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
