About

Peterborough City Council is seeking a supplier for catering and event management for its Annual Bondholder Dinner, a black-tie evening at Peterborough Cathedral on Thursday 1 July 2027 that attracts around 350 local business leaders. Requirements include a welcome drinks reception with canapés circulated to guests (6.45pm–7.45pm), a three-course sit-down meal with a meat option and a vegetarian (ideally vegan) option for each course served to approximately 350 guests, table service for food, tea and coffee after dessert, and full bar service where guests can purchase drinks. The event team must supply all tableware, tables, chairs, linens, place cards and table setup including wine and water on tables; Peterborough City Council will order four bottles of wine (two red, two white) and two bottles of water (one still, one sparkling) per table and this should be included in the quote. The supplier is also responsible for arrival drinks and canapés service, centrepieces (ideally candelabras), and hire, setup and takedown of catering equipment and marquees for the on-site kitchen and dinner service; the council will coordinate and submit bulk dietary orders and special requirements by pre‑agreed dates.
