What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council is seeking a strategic partner to deliver the Bristol Court Catering Service, providing a range of healthy and nutritious food and drink on-site, 365 days per year. At minimum, the Service will provide one hot meal per day to each resident of the Scheme, which residents will pay for via a fixed daily cost included within the service charge.

Bristol Court is a purpose-built Extra Care Scheme with 94 flats for adults 18+ with care and support staff on-site. It is home to residents with a range of needs, including frail elderly people, people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and people with Dementia. The Service will work in partnership with LB Hounslow's Housing Management Team and the commissioned care and support service to support residents' health and wellbeing.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Aug 2033, 23:59 BST.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
