Health Education England Catering Services 18.406 v2

The Health Education England (HEE) Events Centre at Stewart House, University of London is a dedicated centre for events and meetings, with 34 purpose-built rooms, open spaces, an auditorium and other facilities which from time to time require a high quality, affordable and compliant service to provide sandwich lunches, salads, cold buffets and other catering services.

The Events Centre supports the commissioning and delivery process for recruiting, educating and training doctors, nurses and other clinicians in the London region and nationally, and its activities include recruitment programmes, professional reviews, training courses, workshops, conferences, business meetings and executive committees.

The Catering Service will include the provision of catering for a variety of these events, for HEE and NHS staff. Other types of periodic events may also take place from time to time and require catering services - e.g. open days, private parties, etc.

The supplier will need to be flexible, and offer an "out of hours" service as well as during normal events centre opening hours.
