This opportunity, originally set to commence on 1st July 2020 and run for two years, has reached a cancelled status. Interested parties had until 30th March 2020 to submit their tenders following a restricted procedure initiated by an invitation to tender released on 28th February 2020. A site visit was scheduled for 5th March 2020 to allow potential bidders to assess the facilities before making their proposals. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the catering and hospitality sectors, particularly those equipped to meet the needs of educational environments. Companies providing a diverse range of food offerings, especially healthy options appealing to students, along with efficient service management, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Moreover, businesses looking to establish a sustainable partnership with a public institution like Anglia Ruskin University may find this opportunity aligns with their strategic goals, especially given the potential for further collaborations in the future. ## Notice Anglia Ruskin University is seeking a catering partner to provide catering services for the Cafe at their Guild House campus in Peterborough, which is a dedicated health, education and social care campus. As part of ARU's future vision and strategy, it is expanding their partnering relationships. Catering at Guild House is currently proved by PRC Ventures based at Peterborough College. The facilities provide a small cafe on the top floor that is supported by an open kitchen. Current turnover is approx GPB 21k per annum, and is a 12 month a year operation. ARU pay a capped subsidy of GBP 1.5k per month to the incumbent to cover the cost of service.
