Brunel University, invites expressions of interest for provision of catering services
‘Brunel University, invites expressions of interest from caterers with evidence of success in the Higher Education sector to operate the catering outlets and facilities, including restaurants, cafes, conference and hotel-type services, and the University general retail store.
The catering, conferences, hotel and retail services are a central element of University life and are currently delivered in-house. These services deliver support to 18,000 students, 2,500 staff and many additional visitors, particularly those associated with the annual Summer Schools activities and large academic conferences.
A market test is being conducted to identify the delivery options that offer the best value for money and an in-house bid will be submitted. The contract period would be 5 years with an option of a further 2 one year periods and would be expected to start in September 2012.
Expressions of Interest and any requests for further information should be sent to David Lloyd, Procurement Manager, by e-mail to David.Lloyd@brunel.ac.uk and to Mayele.Yambila@brunel.ac.uk by no later than 26 August 2011.
