Description

The City Corporation is looking to appoint up to three catering providers to run catering services in the Barbican Centre.

The Contract will be divided into three (3) Lots:
Lot 1: Hospitality and Events
Lot 2: Level G restaurant and foyer cafes
Lot 3: Level 1 restaurant

The duration of the contract is five (5) years, subject to the right of the City Corporation (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to two (2) years. The maximum length of the contract is therefore seven (7) years.

Summary of requirements:
Lot1: Food and Beverage delivery only.
Catering associated with events including the Barbican internal hospitality breaks down approximately:
Day time conference: 70%
Events evening/weekend with no associated meeting or conference: 25%
Other (discounted including Barbican internal hospitality):5%

Lot2:
Level G assisted service restaurant attracting a consistent destination customer group made up of staff, local workers and residents and is populated by these users throughout the day for social occasions, meetings and as an outlet for take away service.
Level G and -1 café offering a good range of soft drinks, sandwiches, filled breads and snacks.

Lot3:
Level 1 table table service restaurant operating a variety of menu styles to a medium price point and attracts perhaps a younger demographic and some of our more experimental Theatre audiences. It benefits from the setting of its outdoor tables in the summer. The Barbican Centre is looking to close the existing Level 2 table service restaurant and radically develop the restaurant on Level 1 with the Support of the successful caterer provider.

The estimated contract value given is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore £7,928.57.
