As is detailed in the BIFM Practical Guide (Procuring & Running Catering Contracts) and the CIPS guide (How to Buy Catering Services), both of which were written by Stern Consultancy, we support our clients either in a turn-key project or as required in each of the following areas:

• Realistic and achievable project timetable
• Catering specification
• Development of detailed financial proformas
• Identification of caterer long-list
• Prequalification questionnaire and evaluation
• Development of tender documentation using a tried and tested format, tailored to each client's specific requirements
• Bid evaluation and final negotiation

We work within each client's own procurement process requirements and are experienced both in e-tendering tools (e.g. Ariba) and working within European Law and OJEU.
