We welcome input from suppliers of all sizes who can offer high-quality, sustainable, and cost-effective catering solutions tailored to our operational needs. Commercial details are to be discussed during pre-market engagement meetings. Costs and value of the contract are unknown at this point in time and shall be determined depending on the best approach for the Force.

The pre-engagement meetings shall take place at Force Headquarters or via TEAMS. If you are interested in this opportunity, please submit a word document with details of attendees from your organisation and we shall contact you after Monday 13th October 2025 to arrange a suitable date and time for a meeting.

The above comes with the caveat that all pre-engagement activities shall be without any commercial commitment or prejudice.
