## Summary

Sheffield City Council has completed the procurement process for "Town Hall Catering Services," which falls under the catering services category, with its main location being Sheffield, United Kingdom. The process began with a tender invitation published in July 2025, with submissions closing by the end of August 2025. The procurement utilised an open, below-threshold competition strategy, divided into various lots to handle different aspects of catering for events at council venues. The contract was awarded by December 2025, covering a service period starting from November 2025 to October 2026, with a potential one-year extension.

This procurement provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in catering services, particularly those capable of handling both large-scale events and regular business meetings. The involvement of PTJ Catering Limited, an SME, as a supplier exemplifies the council's openness to partnering with smaller enterprises. Catering businesses that can offer comprehensive packages, including food and beverage services, are well-positioned to benefit from contracts like this. By engaging in such public procurement projects, businesses can enhance their profiles and gain access to broader markets across the region.

## Notice

As part of the Council's services, we offer an event facility for both external customers (weddings etc.) and internal customers (supplier events, community events etc.) at the Town Hall. These events have the option of having catering included on a fixed price per head basis. As the catering facility is an essential part of the event space offering, we are looking to undertake a procurement exercise to secure a new contract for the provision of catering and bar facilities for internal and external catering events within all the council's premises (primarily Town Hall) used as a hire venue. There will also be the occasional requirement to cater for other large events such as the Lord Mayor may require from time to time. The new procurement exercise will be split into the following Lots: * Lot 1 - Catering Service for Internal and External Events * Lot 2 - Catering Service for Business Meetings and Training * Lot 3 - Full Bar Service of Alcoholic and Soft Drinks
