Tender Details
Tender Description
La Trobe University is issuing this Expressions of Interest (EOI) to engage with experienced and innovative food and beverage service providers who can partner with us to deliver a comprehensive catering solution across our Bundoora Campus. This EOI serves as a key step in assessing market interest and will inform a procurement strategy to be finalised by the end of this year, with formal sourcing and market engagements planned to commence by the end of Q1 next year.
We are seeking a provider capable of delivering a holistic solution that encompasses all catering opportunities, including student meal plans, internal meetings, functions, short-term accommodation catering, external events, and on-campus amenities such as the Glenn Bistro and a revitalised campus bar. Future operations will have exclusive access to a 15x4.2m centrally located commercial kitchen that has complete fit-out, fully equipped, and has a separate freezer, cool room, and dry storage room. The kitchen has close access to a loading dock for deliveries, and two dedicated parking spots for catering delivery and vehicles. The caterer can use the kitchen for catering outside of La Trobe University during off-peak periods, ensuring La Trobe requests are always prioritised.
This is a strategic opportunity for a single provider to address all our catering and hospitality needs, creating an integrated and sustainable service model that enhances the campus experience. We welcome interest from providers who share our commitment to quality, innovation, and community engagement.
