A Preliminary Market Engagement exercise has been launched to open a dialogue with specialist catering businesses about the future management of their food services.
This is your chance to share your interest, suggest potential lease options, and provide key market insights that will help the Council decide on the best way forward. Your participation is an important step in helping us plan and structure any potential future procurement. Details below:
The Council has issued a Preliminary Market Engagement opportunity to support the considerations for future catering provision across the Council. This exercise is to help support the Council’s decision making going forward and consider information provided by the market on the level of interest from external provision, potential lease options and key areas of information required to help the Council in any potential Procurement activity.
