## Summary

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), a central government public authority based in Coventry, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the "SIAL Paris 2026 Chef Catering Services." This contract focuses on providing high-quality catering services at the SIAL Paris exhibition, a significant event held in France. The tender, initiated under a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold value, reached the award stage on 3rd July 2026. The contract was signed on 24th June 2026 and runs from 29th June to 31st October 2026. This engagement is classified under the 'services' category and includes the delivery of catering services that highlight British beef, lamb, and pork.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in large-scale, professional catering services, especially those that can manage complex operations involving high-volume, quality food preparation and service delivery. Given the event's international significance and the requirement for promoting British meat products, businesses with experience in international exhibitions or those offering culinary excellence in fusion menus would be well-suited to this opportunity. Companies equipped to manage full kitchen operations and capable of scaling their services efficiently in coordination with event teams can greatly benefit from participation in such high-visibility projects. This contract, which engages a large supplier, like Monsieur Arnaud Antoni based in France, highlights the importance of having both local knowledge and operational flexibility.

## Notice

AHDB requires a supplier to deliver a high-volume, professional catering operation at SIAL Paris 2026, supporting 18 coexhibitors and a central hospitality area. The service must showcase the quality of British beef, lamb, and pork through approximately 2,500-2,650 high-quality sample servings, delivered via two alternating fusion-style menus. The supplier will be responsible for full kitchen operations, including pre-event preparation, on-site cooking, staffing, and service delivery, alongside bar and barista services for visitors. They must provide all non-meat ingredients, equipment, tableware, and staffing, while managing food safety, storage, and service flow. The operation must ensure efficient, professional delivery across the exhibition, with daily reporting, strong coordination with the stand team, and the flexibility to scale volumes as required.
