What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

LUPC is working with its Member Institutions and those of the other UKUPCs to re-establish a national Framework Agreement for the Provision of Catering Outsourced Services across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Member Institutions of all UKUPCs will be able to use this Framework Agreement. Our Members operate a variety of catering services throughout their institutions ranging from cafés and refectories to internal hospitality and corporate events. The Consortia is inviting feedback from suitably qualified and experienced providers for the provision of these services to Member Institutions under a framework agreement that will run initially for two years, with two one year extensions up to a maximum period of four years, subject to satisfactory performance. The Consortia’s objective is to ensure that it receives quality catering outsourced services for its Members and it will work closely with the chosen Providers throughout the term of the agreement to achieve greater value for money for Members. The resulting Framework Agreement will allow qualifying Providers to supply the Consortia Members with the services identified in the Invitation to Tender, at the agreed prices and terms and for the duration of the Framework term. Member Institutions will engage firms by issuing individual call-off instructions as and when required. Please complete the questionnaire located here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ngF9mAbKyD LUPC will collate responses and may reach out to interested parties to engage in further PME processes. Please note: We have not added a value to this project yet. Value will become clearer nearer to tender stage.
