Description

Hertfordshire Catering Ltd (HCL) is currently out to procurement for the provision of Grocery, Fresh, Chilled and Frozen Foods to be delivered to various sites which are listed in the tender documentation.

HCL is a Company limited by shares and wholly owned by Hertfordshire County Council (HCC). HCL is an award-winning contract caterer, dedicated to delivering excellence in educational catering and commercial sectors throughout Hertfordshire and surrounding counties.

All Goods supplied under this Contract must comply with all relevant legislation in force at the time.

There will be a need for the Supplier to have a flexible approach as during the contract period the pattern, variety and volume of demand for Goods as well as the number of sites may be subject to change, and it is stressed that there are no undertakings concerning likely volume of demand. For guidance only, HCL's estimated annual value of spend is approximately £10m. However, HCL reserves the right to adjust this requirement during the duration of the Agreement should we wish to do so.

HCL are exploring ways to increase their business in future years over the life of this Contract including working with other public sector bodies, which may or may not affect their ability to reach the estimated total value stated. Therefore, the spend under the contract will depend on the uptake of new services. HCL does not make any guarantees the contract will reach this value at any point in the life of the contract, nor does it guarantee future business growth.

Full details are in the tender documentation.
