The University of Birmingham (the 'University) seeks to engage one or more specialist Food and Beverage Consultants (the 'Consultant') on a non-permanent and non-exclusive basis. The aim of this framework is for the University to acquire the requisite skills on a specific project by project basis. Upon award, each company would submit their proposal in an RFQ (Request for Quotation) and the most suitable and economically advantageous proposal will be selected. This is to maintain innovation and competition throughout the course of the Framework.

Although it is not anticipated at this stage, there may be some requirement to work on projects related to the Commonwealth Games being held at the University in 2022.

Projects that the Consultant may undertake would include, but not be limited to the following categories as explained below:

Strategy - development and articulation of campus wide or other specific initiatives that are intended to enhance the user experience and gain alignment to the values of the University and the Food Story

Operations - evaluation of the present functionality from a personnel, sourcing, facilities, or other capability measure with proposed solutions intended to optimise or drive efficiency.

Design - creation of conceptual work in order to drive enhanced commercial revenue or experience, improve operational flow or create capacity to drive service levels

Commercial - simulate and model various situations in singular or campus wide modes in order to understand the potential business outcomes of various decisions or considerations

Event Delivery - manage planning and preparation towards large scale events, specifically over 5,000 guests on a given day being hosted at or in conjunction with the University

Delivery: West Midlands
Extensions: Possible 1 year extension.Variant bids: allowed
