What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe SPS requires a contract for the provision of Hot Food Trolleys across the SPS estate. The SPS cater on site and Hot Food Trolleys are an essential piece of kitchen equipment for SPS Establishments. The distance from halls to the kitchen can be long and therefore, to preserve the food and keep it warm, hot food trolleys are required. The Hot Food Trolleys shall be utilised both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor conditions consist of various surfaces (e.g. paving slabs, road tar, monobloc, rough ground, slopes) therefore they shall be suitable for all-terrain purposes.
