Authority: Eurotunnel Staff Catering Tender·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLe Shuttle is an internationally renowned part of Getlink, formerly Eurotunnel. Le Shuttle's international transport hub in Folkestone operations 24/7 every day of the year. There is scope for the successful contractor to develop both the service concepts and the facilities themselves on site. The current contract with ISS has reached its maximum tenure and Le Shuttle are tendering their services with a specific view to find an innovative trading partner to help develop both the facilities and the staff catering and vending services in the two restaurants and buildings on site. A high quality offer is essential, as is the ability to deliver parity of service with their sister operation in France at Calais. Le Shuttle are launching a market engagement exercise to discuss potential service styles, design options and the future partnership with prospective bidders on the 20th of March 2024. The 'Meet the Buyer' event will be held at the Folkestone terminal. The deadline for submitting
