Catering Tender Process

– Three Business Platforms:

Tendering:

Where competitive tendering is the preferred client decision, Catering Tender can provide all the necessary documentation to carry this process forward, and then provide the analytical expertise to ensure that all bids are measured on a comparable basis to ensure the correct award criteria.

Catering Tender works with all relevant audit bodies, both internal and external, to ensure compliance to all client specific regulations governing tender procedures.

Catering Tender is able to reduce the amount of management time that clients have to commit to this process – without taking away the sovereignty over decision-making.

Evaluation:

This is the unique audit process that Catering Tender has developed to ensure that clients are getting the very best value for money. It is not about either cost-cutting or reducing standards, it’s about valuing the excellence of the services the client currently experiences – and then making recommendations of how both can be improved.

In-House Support:

Aimed specifically at clients who have either moved to an in-house service provision, or who are actively considering this as a viable option moving forward. In this scenario we support clients through the key business functions of Health and Safety legislation/compliance, Food Safety legislation/compliance, budgeting and financial controls, training and development and due diligence in purchasing.

Catering Tender’s Process

– Understanding Your Objectives

We know that time spent on understanding the objectives of the tender and consequentially “shaping” what the catering services will look like in the future is an imperative.

This critical work develops a blue-print upon which bidding companies then focus their abilities to deliver this in what becomes a very clear, concise and easily evaluated process.

Your objectives will be unique to you and we will ensure that this is reflected in our work with you.

To be able to do this effectively and to allow you to have access to the whole of the marketplace, we do not work within framework agreements which by their very definition can be limiting not only in terms of the bidding companies represented therein, but consequentially limiting as to the ensuring the best of all solutions are available.
