Venues Catering Framework - PGP/2020/1044*

This opportunity is being published by Stoke-on-Trent City Council. In addition, the City Council is making LOT 1 of this framework available to external customers. It is proposed that LOT 1 OF THE framework be open to be accessed by external customers.

As such, the value published is £1,600,000.00 - this is the projected approximate combined value for Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 3. It is to be noted that Lot 1 does not fall under Stoke-on-Trent City councils budgets, therefore this will be externally funded. The Catering supplier will submit invoices for Lot 1 work to the City council where a commission of 15% will be established and charged to the catering provider. This commission is levied to not only cover the agency costs but also to recover the city councils cost of overheads associated with the event buildings space/buildings. This value has been included in the overall projected value of this Framework to give tenderers the true potential values available to them under this Framework Agreement. Below are the projected values of individual Lots; Lot 1 - A full range of catering services for all external events, ranging from full banqueting to function - Approximate value per annum: £340k Lot 2 - Civic events, ceremonies and dinners - organised by or in partnership with the City Council - Approximate value per annum: £50K Lot 3 - Internal business meetings and conferences organised by or in partnership with the City Council - Approximate value per annum: £10k Please note that under this framework Stoke-on-Trent City Council gives NO guarantee whatsoever as to future levels of business and the approximate value may fluctuate in line with changing requirements.
