II.2.4) Disgrifiad o’r caffaeliad
City of Glasgow College seeks to appoint a forward-thinking, innovative and sector-leading Catering Provider to deliver a diverse, sustainable and inclusive catering service across both Campuses. The successful Contractor will provide catering for students, staff and visitors throughout the academic year, operating a multi-outlet service that is responsive to varying demand across campuses.
The Catering Service must be affordable, high quality and customer-focused, with standards that reflect best practice in ingredient quality, food safety, presentation, nutrition and customer service. The service is expected to deliver an attractive and modern catering offer aligned to student expectations and contemporary market trends.
Sustainability is a core theme of the contract. The Provider must embed sustainability throughout all aspects of service delivery, including food provenance, ethical and fair trade sourcing, animal welfare, sustainable fisheries, plant-forward menu development, biodiversity, energy usage, carbon management, reduction of single use plastics, and minimisation of food waste. The Provider will be expected to support the College’s wider sustainability and climate objectives and demonstrate continuous improvement over the life of the contract.
The contract places strong emphasis on generating meaningful social value and supporting the student experience. The Provider will be required to deliver added-value initiatives including modern apprenticeships, work placements, volunteering, employability activity, and collaboration with the Hospitality and Culinary Arts curriculum. Engagement with learners, including student led initiatives and menu development, will form a key element of contract performance.
The College intends to establish a collaborative partnership approach with the successful Provider, based on shared objectives, transparency and joint responsibility for improvement. The Provider will be responsible for the safe collection of waste oil, and will be required to adopt innovative waste and recycling practices to support carbon reduction objectives. General waste and mixed recycling services will be provided by the College.

The College will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidders financial status.
Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the 'Qualification Envelope' that as a minimum, 2 out of the 3 ratios can be met and what the value of each ratio is.
The three ratios to be evaluated are:
Profitability - this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio.
Liquidity - this is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to 'one' then it is a pass for this ratio.
Gearing - this is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio.
Where 2 out of 3 ratios cannot be met, the College may take the undernoted into consideration when assessing financial viability and the risk to the College, providing the bidder can supply evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria. This list is not exhaustive and other criteria may be considered where proposed by a bidder as mitigating factors.
Would the bidder have passed the checks if prior year accounts had been used?
Were any of the poor appraisal outcomes 'marginal'?
Does the bidder operate in a market which, traditionally, requires lower liquidity or higher debt finance?
Does the bidder have sufficient reserves to sustain losses for a number of years?
Does the bidder have a healthy cash flow?
Is the bidder profitable enough to finance the interest on it's debt?
Is most of the bidders debt due to be repaid over a number of years and affordable?
Have the bidders results been adversely affected by 'one-off costs' and/or 'one-off' accounting treatments?
Do the bidders auditors (where applicable) consider it to be a 'going concern'?
Do keynote (where applicable) consider the bidder to be a 'going concern'?
Will the bidder provide a Parent Company Gurantee?
Is the bidder the single supplier/source of the Goods/Works/Services in the marketplace?
The College will obtain an Equifax Report or similar financial verification system to validate the information provided.
Bidders must confirm they can provide the following supporting evidence prior to award:
Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 10,000,000 GBP
