About

Mid Ulster District Council is seeking a supplier for ad hoc catering services at The Burnavon Arts Centre in Cookstown and at Hill of The O'Neill and Ranfurly House in Dungannon. The contract is expected to commence on 1 October 2026 for one year to 30 September 2027, with the council having the sole discretion to extend for up to 2 further single-year periods; suppliers may tender for one or both lots (Lot 1: Burnavon Arts and Cultural Centre, Cookstown; Lot 2: Hill of The O'Neill and Ranfurly House, Dungannon). This procurement is an open/competitive flexible procedure for a public contract in the hotel and restaurant services category (CPV codes include 55520000, 55400000, 55510000), and tenders should follow the Qualification/Technical/Financial envelope structure. Tender prices must reflect all circumstances affecting provision of the services.

Insight

This tender is likely to be most relevant to experienced catering providers and hospitality companies able to deliver ad hoc venue-based catering and who can tender for one or both listed lots; key considerations include preparing prices that reflect all service circumstances, meeting public contract procurement requirements under the Open/Competitive Flexible procedure, and readiness for a contract start date of 1 October 2026 with potential 2x1 year extensions at the council's discretion.
