The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of all catering services within the College. The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a new food service offer with consistent high standards of food operations across all services.
These new standards of operation should meet the needs of the students and staff alike moving forwards into this contract term, recognising that different food offers and menus will be required for each service area. It is our aim to enhance the use of local suppliers for all fresh foods which should include, fruit and vegetables, dairy products, eggs, meat and bakery products. The Client has taken the decision that all meat served will be certified by the Halal Monitoring Committee HMC UK. The Halal Monitoring Committee is an independent, not for profit, registered charity organisation whose main aim is to certify the production of genuine Halal food. Halal food meets all food safety, hygiene and quality regulations in compliance with UK Law and within the teachings of the Islamic faith. The Halal Monitoring Committee works with companies who are involved in the production and supply of Halal food, to independently certify all products to provide assurance to the Muslim community that all food meets the high standards of Halal.
The current range of foods needs to be expanded. Regular customer engagement with both students and staff will be required to ensure this is the case moving into the contract term.
