## Summary

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland recently issued a cancellation notice for its tender regarding the "Provision of Catering Services" on 6th February 2026, following the completion of the tender stage without any bids received. This procurement process was intended to contract for café and catering services across non-public police sites, primarily at the Central Police Headquarters and Middlesbrough Central Police Station in Stockton on Tees, which falls under the UKC11 region in the United Kingdom. Although the tender was initially in its active stage from late 2025, and site visits were arranged for January 2026, the award stage concluded on 6th February 2026 with cancellation due to lack of participation.

While the tender is no longer active, future opportunities in similar categories could be promising for companies specialising in high-quality food services, particularly those geared towards providing cafeteria and hospitality services in operational and formal settings. Businesses with expertise in delivering professional catering tailored for events and meetings, and those capable of handling logistics involved with police operational activities, would find this sector lucrative. An open procurement method was used, suggesting inclusivity and a broad competitive environment, which is beneficial for new entrants in the catering industry aiming to establish partnerships with public authorities like the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland.
