What is being bought

Published requirement description

NTU have 14 onsite catering outlets over our four campuses. We require a sole supplier to provide Fruit and Vegetables for onsite use throughout these outlets, which cater for Students and Staff. These facilities add to the overall Student experience which is of great importance to us at NTU. We also cater for onsite events such as Awards Nights and Vice Chancellors Dinners, which require an alternative offering to our daily items. Onsite deliveries will take place at the following locations:

  • Brackenhurst Campus, Southwell, Nottinghamshire NG25 0QF
  • Mansfield Campus Hub, Derby Road, Mansfield, NG18 5BH
  • Clifton Campus College Dr, Clifton, Nottingham NG11 8NS
  • City Campus 50 Shakespeare Street, Nottingham NG1 4FQ – This is our main campus. Deliveries shall be made as per our Purchase Order and may require delivery to any of the locations above.
