The submission route named on the official notice.
This sits below the typical range for Hospitality & Catering contracts — a smaller, more accessible award. Based on 3,335 valued Hospitality & Catering tenders in our corpus.
Birmingham City Council publishes Hospitality & Catering work continuously — 22 notices, roughly one every 73 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
69% of Birmingham City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
