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.

What counts as a restaurant and food serving tender?

They include leases to run a cafe or restaurant inside a public building or visitor attraction, plus day-to-day food serving contracts for staff, students or residents.
Who buys restaurant and food-serving services in the public sector?
Councils, universities and visitor attractions such as parks and heritage sites are regular buyers, alongside school trusts and care providers running their own dining services. Awards are commonly let as concessions or fixed-term service contracts.
Can small caterers and restaurant operators bid for these contracts?
Yes. Many notices are concessions or leases suited to independent operators as well as national catering groups. Buyers set out the space, opening hours and service style expected in the tender documents.
