The Council is seeking to appoint a strategic partner to exclusively provide an on-site catering service. Please refer to the power point presentation entitled Bristol Court Catering Presentation which forms part of the procurement documentation. The council is seeking business cases to operate the catering services, therefore no specification has been produced, however the outcomes are contained in the presentation.

The service will provide a range of healthy and nutritious food and drink on-site, seven days per week, 365 days per year — including public holidays. At minimum, the service will provide 1 meal per day to each resident of the scheme, which residents will pay for via a fixed daily cost included within the service charge. The landlord, LB Hounslow Housing, will then pay the provider. At the provider’s discretion, the service may also provide additional meals and services above and beyond the minimum condition of tenancy meal requirement, including vending services. The provider will pay an agreed proportion of profits made from additional sales back to the landlord to benefit service users.
