Catering Outsourced Services Re-tender

UKUPC (inclusive of LUPC, APUC, HEPCW, NEUPC, NWUPC and SUPC) are planning on re-tendering the existing framework for Outsourced Catering Services for their Members in September 2022. A short questionnaire is located here: https://forms.office.com/r/7LeGgsTsyG Please complete this to engage with UKUPC on this retender opportunity. A regulated process tender will follow later this year. 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. 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 crossover between Lots 1 and 2 and Lot 3. Any organisation applying for Lot 3 must be independent of other Lots and not be eligible to apply to join Lot 1 and/or 2 to ensure there is no collusion and therefore reduce the risk of bid rigging.
