Description

LUPC are planning on re-tendering the existing framework for Outsourced Catering Services for their Members in September 2022. Members are predominantly Higher Education Institutions and Further Education Colleges, but in the case of LUPC also include not-for-profit, public and third-sector organisations from sectors in the arts, sciences and education. This will be the second iteration of the Outsourced Catering Services Framework run by the University Purchasing Consortia and follows on from a particularly difficult time for Members as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. As such, we would like feedback from suppliers either currently working in the HE / FE sector, or who would like to work in the HE/FE sector, to help shape the new iteration of the framework.

Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** … As such we would like feedback from suppliers either currently working in the HE / FE sector, or who would like to work in the HE/FE sector, to help shape the new iteration of the framework. In terms of the services provided, these may vary across our members dependent upon the nature of the site and/or the requirements. UKUPC are looking to divide the framework into Lots as follows: Lot 1 – Outsourced Catering Services Lot 2 - Office, Corporate and Event Catering Lot 3 - Catering Consultancy Services Please note: There will be no cross over between Lot 3 and Lots 1 and 2. Any organisation applying for Lot 3 must be independent of other Lots to ensure there is no collusion and therefore reduce the risk of bid rigging. We are looking for engagement from the market regarding a number of areas, as per the questionnaire located here: https://forms.office.com/r/7LeGgsTsyG
