Description

Catering services for 6 commercially operated outlets at University of Northampton (UoN) new Waterside Campus opening in September 2018, plus 3 legacy sites, 2 in Northampton and 1 in Daventry. Hospitality across all sites. Total projected annual turnover of approximately 2 500 000 GBP. The University of Northampton is seeking a catering partner to operate the services at their new Waterside campus when they transfer the majority of their activity there in September 2018. There will be 3 legacy catering outlets in retained buildings in Northampton (Newton Cafe on the Avenue campus and the cafe in the Innovation centre near Northampton station) and Daventry (the cafe and conference catering at the Icon centre) that their catering partner will also be responsible for once Waterside has opened. It is intended to appoint a partner at the earliest opportunity so that they can understand how the current services operate and can prepare themselves and the staff they will be inheriting under TUPE for the new, re-energised services. It is therefore anticipated that the appointed partner will be on site from the beginning of 2018 and will have full access to the existing services from that time.
