Stern Consultancy LimitedSMEIndependent Catering Consultancy Services8 Jun 2026 – 7 Jun 2030 · up to 7 Jun 2034Extensions: Extensions will be utilised on the basis that CAA continues to operate an outsourced catering service. The current outsourced contract is due to be retendered in late 2026 and potentially lead to a further contract of up to four (4) years. However there is a currently property strategy review of offices, therefore extensions to the current term will need to be flexible to current & future office locations and may result in an alternative catering model not directly procured or managed by CAA. · Options: Options include future consultancy to support retendering of the catering services in 2026 & provision of related catering consultancy market intelligence on an ad-hoc basis.	£27,000	—	Standstill
