Link Title: The Provision of a Diverse and Sustainable Catering Service
Link Description: City of Glasgow College is seeking an experienced and sustainably focussed catering provider to operate and develop food and beverage services for students, staff and visitors across its two campuses: City Campus, 190 Cathedral Street, Glasgow, G4 0RF Riverside Campus, 21 Thistle Street, Glasgow, G5 9XB
Lot Description: City of Glasgow College seeks to appoint a forward-thinking, innovative and sector-leading Catering Provider to deliver a diverse, sustainable and inclusive catering service across both Campuses. The successful bidder will provide catering for students, staff and visitors throughout the academic year, operating a multi-outlet service that is responsive to varying demand across campuses. The Catering Service must be affordable, high quality and customer-focused, with standards that reflect best practice in ingredient quality, food safety, presentation, nutrition and customer service. The service is expected to deliver an attractive and modern catering offer aligned to student expectations and contemporary market trends. Sustainability is a core theme of the contract. The successful bidder must embed sustainability throughout all aspects of service delivery, including food provenance, ethical and fair trade sourcing, animal welfare, sustainable fisheries, plant-forward menu development, biodiversity, energy usage, carbon management, reduction of single use plastics, and minimisation of food waste. The bidder will be expected to support the Collegeâs wider sustainability and climate objectives and demonstrate continuous improvement over the life of the contract. The contract places strong emphasis on generating meaningful social value and supporting the student experience. The successful bidder will be required to deliver added-value initiatives including modern apprenticeships, work placements, volunteering, employability activity, and collaboration with the Hospitality and Culinary Arts curriculum. Engagement with learners, including student led initiatives and menu development, will form a key element of contract performance. The College intends to establish a collaborative partnership approach with the successful bidder, based on shared objectives, transparency and joint responsibility for improvement. The successful bidder will be responsible for the safe collection of waste oil, and will be required to adopt innovative waste and recycling practices to support carbon reduction objectives. General waste and mixed recycling services will be provided by the College. The estimated contract value represents indicative projected turnover generated by the successful bidder from catering sales, based on historic trading data. It does not represent expenditure by the College.
