We have ambitious plans to invest £1bn in the South West economy and to build 7,000 new homes in the region over the next 5 years. In Summer 2024 we are looking to appoint a provider across our three offices (Tolvaddon, Exeter, Weston-Super-Mare),that will meet or exceed our requirements in delivering a friendly, reliable, nutritious catering service that offers a range of quality food at competitive prices. We also want to appoint a provider who is committed to working with us to achieve our Environmental, Social and Governance objectives. Please contact us at: ### Procurement@livewest.co.uk As summary if what we want to find out / discuss with you: - Incentivised contracts > do you use them currently, what works well and what doesn't? 1b. What other types of contract do you use and which do / don't work well? - We understand that a subsidy is required to run this service across our 3 offices and we'd like to explore how we can minimise this subsidy, ensuring value for money and a quality service. - What makes a tender process attractive for you to respond? and what puts you off responding? - What arrangements (if any) do you have in other contracts to obtain the most competitive prices for food from your suppliers, and how do you report this to your client? - Is there anything else specifically that you think we should consider as part of the Tender process that has worked well previously or you feel would add value? - In a cost-plus contract arrangement, how do you communicate expenditure and sales in a transparent way? We are open to receiving email responses to these questions but would equally value the opportunity to arrange teams / phone call to discuss these questions and any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you.
