Richmond Housing Partnership will be moving to new offices in Teddington (TW11) in December 2010. It invites expressions of interest to tender for operating a café (with an option to manage the office cleaners) for 200 staff. It is anticipated that another tenant will move in during 2011, adding a similar number of people. The café must be run to a high standard and be competitive with local outlets. The new contract will run for 3 years from mid December 2010. Caterers will be selected to tender on the basis of:
1. Relevant experience of providing café services, particularly in southwest London
2. Their resources/support/back-up/management structure
3. Their financial stabilityCaterers wishing to be considered should provide sufficient information on these 3 points by 13 August 2010, to RHP’s advisor: Peter Smale, Turpin Smale Foodservice Consultancy, Blackfriars Foundry, 156 Blackfriars Road, London SE1 8EN. Email:
