II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The University of Northampton is seeking a catering partner to operate the services at their new Waterside campus when they transfer the majority of their activity there in September 2018. There will be 3 legacy catering outlets in retained buildings in Northampton (Newton Cafe on the Avenue campus and the cafe in the Innovation centre near Northampton station) and Daventry (the cafe and conference catering at the Icon centre) that their catering partner will also be responsible for once Waterside has opened. It is intended to appoint a partner at the earliest opportunity so that they can understand how the current services operate and can prepare themselves and the staff they will be inheriting under TUPE for the new, re-energised services. It is therefore anticipated that the appointed partner will be on site from the beginning of 2018 and will have full access to the existing services from that time. Bidding suppliers must comply with all current legislation and good industry practice to including but not limited to:
— The General Food Law Regulations (EC) 178/2002,

They must maintain an Environmental Management System and have strong CSR credentials The annual value of the contract must not exceed 50% of the total annual turnover of the supplier's business. The annual contract value is anticipated at 2 500 000 GBP, so bidding suppliers must have an annual turnover of 5 000 000 GBP or more.
