## Summary

The procurement process for Woodhouse College, a sub-central government public authority situated in London, involves the provision of catering services at the college. The title of the project is "Woodhouse College ~ Catering Tender," categorised under the industry classification of catering services. This process has moved from the tender stage to award, with the contract being awarded on 16th June 2025 to Cater Link Limited. The procurement was conducted using an open and competitive flexible procedure, with three final stage bids submitted, including one from an SME. The contract, valued at £1,115,000, will commence on 1st August 2025 and end on 31st July 2030. This procurement offers opportunities for innovative food suppliers to enhance catering services and is aimed at meeting the needs of 16-19-year-old students at the college.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses within the catering industry, particularly those that can provide innovative and responsive food solutions suited to a youthful and dynamic demographic. Companies offering "fast grab and go" options and branded food items would find this tender particularly lucrative. The project's scale, with a student population of 1,620 and annual food and beverage sales close to £300,000, presents growth potential for suppliers aiming to expand their business footprint in the educational catering sector. Large enterprises, given the value and duration of the contract, are well-poised to compete and benefit from such an opportunity.
