II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services at Carmel College.
The Client is looking for a Supplier who will be their partner within a vibrant competitive market. The catering service is currently outsourced to a catering contractor.
Any Supplier wishing to be considered for this contract must be able to demonstrate experience and depth of knowledge in the management and handling of TUPE issues.
The contract will commence on 13.7.2018 for a period of 3 years, with an option to extend on a 1 + 1 basis. The value of the contract is 1 360 000 GBP.
This contract as a minimum will be nil cost in nature with the successful Supplier developing the team and market to move forward. Investment is not actively sought, but may be required to enhance and further the service, should the bid require it.
We are seeking a suitably experienced Supplier who has current experience of working within the college and secondary school market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the North of England, thus allowing for responsive, contract support and management of catering staff. The service has in the last 12 months encountered stiff competition from a fast food development close by and the Supplier will need to provide a service that competes and exceeds the offers from elsewhere.
The successful Supplier will be required to formally report each month on catering standard performance and operational matters, ensuring the senior management team at the college is fully informed about all issues related to delivery of the catering service.
