The Catering Services are split into three Lots. Lot A: Boston Spa Catering Lot B: St Pancras Ground Floor Cafes Lot C: St Pancras Restaurants, Events and Internal Hospitality ### Lot Information Catering Service Delivery, Lot A Boston Spa Catering at Boston Spa is currently delivered to staff, visitors and contractors within mixed-use spaces. Staff working at Boston Spa also have access to small kitchenettes. Many staff work in offices or spaces in which they are not allowed to eat and drink, so these kitchenettes and the restaurant are important spaces for break times. There is no cultural or major retail offer at present, so the majority of visitors to the site come to access our collections in the Reading Room. We hope to expand our services at this site in the future, as part of the Boston Spa Renewed project. You can find out more about this work here: https://www.bl.uk/projects/boston-spa-plans St Pancras Ground Floor Cafes This lot combines two of our smaller outlets with a new opportunity for an outdoor offer. We would like to differentiate between our main building offer and our smaller outlets, which have a more specialist, independent feel. Our Piazza is a dynamic space and particularly vibrant in the summer months. St Pancras - Main Lot C comprises of services delivery for Public Outlets, internal hospitality orders, staff catering and our day to day events and conference catering. The four public facing outlets, Members' room and staff space have the opportunity for a range of offerings and character to ensure there is something to suit every budget, taste, mood and dietary need; ensuring that visitors and staff have choices within the building to rival that in the local King's Cross area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013098-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 May 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2023 - 30 Sep 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | Lots value | £11,123,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH LIBRARY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 2DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | St Pancras & Somers Town | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55520000 - Catering services ## Release History - 9 May 2023 at 11:05 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013098-2023 - 24 Apr 2023 at 13:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011666-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.bipsolutions.com - https://www.bl.uk/projects/boston-spa-plans - https://www.delta-esourcing.com - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/U6R3N7C9H3 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Catering-services./U6R3N7C9H3 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
