Restaurant and Food Serving Tenders and Contracts
See open restaurant and food serving tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Restaurant and food serving procurement covers staff restaurants and canteens in government offices and police headquarters, and cafe and restaurant concessions on university campuses. School dining also comes up, as do ice cream, mobile catering and bar concessions in parks, gardens and council buildings. Concessions at forest and garden visitor sites come up as well.
Concessions and licence agreements are a common route, and a staff restaurant is often bundled with coffee shops, vending and hospitality in one contract. Demand comes from universities, police forces, government departments, councils, school trusts and schools.
