The procurement is in the active stage, with bids accepted until 7 January 2022. The contract, set to commence on 1 April 2022, aims to promote health and wellbeing by providing fresh culinary options to approximately 120 staff members, as well as catering to regular visitors at the hub. This opportunity falls under the canteen and catering services category (CPV 55500000). This tender presents an excellent opportunity for catering businesses looking to expand their operations, particularly those capable of offering onsite services with a focus on nutritional value and collaboration. Given that Cleveland Fire Brigade currently has no competing catering vendors nearby, a successful bidder can leverage this exclusivity to establish a strong local presence and potentially attract additional business from surrounding facilities. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contract will be based on a nil subsidy model, meaning the contractor will need to cover all operational costs through sales revenue. ## Notice Cleveland Fire Brigade is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for its staff and to promote health and wellbeing within the workplace. A key aspect to this objective is for the organisation to provide a catering service at its main administration hub site in Hartlepool with the successful contractor being expected to work collaboratively with the Brigade ensuring that there is sufficient fresh food on offering each day which clearly show the nutritional value. The Contractor is required to provide a Catering Service to Cleveland Fire Brigade's Training and Administration Hub which is based at Queens Meadow Business Park, Hartlepool, TS25 5TH The Training & Administration Hub houses approximately 100 staff with an additional 20 staff also based at the Brigades Technical hub and workshops which is adjacent to the main administration hub. There is also a Training & Education Department within the administration hub which runs courses 7 days a week (Inc. every bank holiday apart from Christmas) for 51 weeks of the Year. There are also regular visitors who attend the brigade and require catering. Currently on the Queens Meadow Business Park there are no other catering vendors, the successful supplier would be able to promote the Bistro/Cafeteria facility to neighbouring facilities to increase business. Bidders should note that the contract will be based on Nil subsidy, therefore all overhead costs such as food, labour, sundries and contractor earnings are recovered from the gross profit earned from sales In return Cleveland Fire Brigade will provide the successful contractor with suitable premises and inventory (detailed in Appendix 1 - heavy equipment) in order to operate a commercial kitchen. The cost of Energy, water, equipment maintenance and deep cleans will be the responsibility of the Brigade during the contract duration ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08dbdf1c-adc8-4e22-900d-21ccb2b9ad37 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2027 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CLEVELAND FIRE AUTHORITY | | Locality | HARTLEPOOL | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS25 5TH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC31 Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees | | Local authority | Hartlepool | | Electoral ward | Fens & Greatham | | Westminster constituency | Hartlepool | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55500000 - Canteen and catering services - 55520000 - Catering services ## Release History - 25 Nov 2021 at 11:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08dbdf1c-adc8-4e22-900d-21ccb2b9ad37 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08dbdf1c-adc8-4e22-900d-21ccb2b9ad37 25th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=40966&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/85799 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.clevelandfire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
