De Montfort University Catering : Market Engagement Exercise 2025

Descriptions

De Montfort University is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement with the catering and hospitality market for an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of our catering provision at the Leicester campus. We are looking for operators to help realise our vision for a vibrant and inclusive catering offer. This will include a range of services across campus — such as food retail outlets, cafés, coffee shops, sandwich bars, hospitality for events, vending, seasonal and pop-up offers, and a campus retail shop — with a strong emphasis on quality, diversity, and innovation. At this stage, any information gathered through this Exercise will inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase and is not part of a formal procurement process Please find attached a summary of the opportunity and details on how to get involved. We welcome interest from both local suppliers and larger operators. If you provide a service or range of products that our students and staff would find appealing and exciting please contact us If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch at : procurement@dmu.ac.uk Or register on : https://in-tendhost.co.uk/demontfort/aspx/Home. and provide your return to the opportunity on line
