The University of Cambridge Business Services Section of Estate Management is seeking to complement the catering provision on the Sidgwick Site by offering a tender for a café and hospitality catering service in the catering facilities at the Alison Richard Building (ARB).
The service will cater for students, staff and visitors on the site. In addition to the catering facilities the ARB also accommodates the following institutions;
Department of Politics and International Studies, which includes the Centres for African Studies, Development Studies, Gender Studies, Latin American Studies and South Asian Studies.
Centre for Research in Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities
7 West Road Cambridge Building.
The Café is in a recently constructed 4-storey University building having a total floor area of 4 210 sq mtr (including a basement). The café provides a year-round service for the above-mentioned institutions’ staff, students and visitors 5 days a week; it has its own production kitchen and storage facilities. At present there is a hospitality service where the contractor provides out of normal hours ad-hoc services, including some evenings and/or weekend catering service.
The Hospitality Service Overview
The cafe is to provide food and drink service in a welcoming environment for customers of regular and mixed cultural tastes.
The contractor is to offer a good value for money menu which includes quality hot and cold foods with a range of (non-alcoholic) drinks.
It is essential that the service complements the catering service that is already provided elsewhere on the site.
For the period of April 2015 — March 2016 the turnover of the Facility was as follows:
Café sales — 258 930 GBP
Hospitality sales — 69 330 GBP.
