Description of the contract
The Centre of Applied Science and Technology for the Home Office have a requirement to provide basic refreshments and lunches to external visitors and have no on site catering facility at either of their sites which are both in remote locations. Therefore, CAST are looking to competitively tender for the provision of catering services to each of our sites at Sandridge (St Albans) and Langhurst (Horsham). The lunches/refreshments will be made off site and delivered to each location by the requested time on each day that they are required. Generally lunches will be required for 2 or more people, although there may be need to cater for anything up to 75 people at a single time. It is anticipated that such refreshments/lunches will be required at least twice a month for a period of 3 days at a time. The requirement will be split into two lots (one for each site location) with a single supplier selected for each lot. The successful supplier will be required to provide lunches for on site meetings and therefore ideally the providers will be close to each of the sites, or have the ability to make deliveries by 11.30am and – on occasion – at extremely short notice (i.e. less than 24 hrs is given for lunches).
