Catering Tenders
The tendering process can be daunting and complex. We know that. Let our know how help you.
We manage the process from start to finish ensuring all legislative aspects are met and adhered to. We keep things simple, explain what’s needed and work to clear timelines. Our documentation is developed with experience and an understanding of you, your culture and requirements of catering.
All communications and documentation are held and managed using a secure, cloud-based portal thus ensuring GDPR compliance and clean audit trails.
We take the pain and time-consuming aspects away from you, allowing you time to concentrate on what’s important for you.
Strategy development and realisation
Do you know what the organisation and your colleagues want from catering. What aspects are important to them – financial return, commercial guarantees, locations, price, variety?...
Is your current catering service fit for purpose?
We have the know how to generate opportunities for research and findings, which provide us with an understanding of what is required by your organisation and your colleagues. This research will help to shape recommendations and ideas for development of your catering provision that you and your team can utilise to bring about change and/or factor into business planning for future development.
Project management
Our people are a friendly bunch and are regularly in demand to help, support, advise and guide many catering operations.
We are regularly called upon to support strategic retentions, project delivery, operational management and mobilisations. No project too small or too big and we relish these opportunities to get to know you.
Design and planning
From green-field sites and new build restaurants to a simple refresh, tiny to huge budgets… we can help you deliver outlets with the wow factor.
With experience of large and small budgets, we can support the design and build of any catering refurbishment, from a simple refresh to a full design and build green-field site.
By conducting a comprehensive feasibility plan and scope of works, we can help plan your refurbishment to add to your food service capability and enhance your catering department, aesthetically and commercially.
Benchmarking
How do YOU know if your caterer is giving you best value and service.
Our know how can help you to understand the key financial metrics that will demonstrate how your caterer is performing.
I’m sure you check your restaurant bills so let’s make sure we check our caterer’s invoices. Let us share our know how and help you to understand your caterer’s invoices and financial statements. Having worked with all the major contract caterers we have the knowledge and experience needed to decipher their invoices.
Our experienced know how extends to procurement. Shopping basket assessments are a great way to check and to understand your caterers buying best practice. We can provide the analysis to demonstrate their expertise and any potential financial benefits.
