The National Gallery of Canada (the “Gallery” or “NGC”) is requesting expressions of interest (“RFEOI”) from interested parties for the provision of exclusive foodservices (retail foodservice and catering) at the NGC. This RFEOI is intended to determine whether or not sufficient market interest exists to proceed to a competitive bidding process. In December 2015, the NGC plans on conducting a solicitation process for an exclusive foodservice provider.Foodservice is part of the visitor experience. The Gallery seeks to obtain expressions of interest from the culinary industry with regard to providing an innovative, fresh, hot and cold, healthy–option foodservice to its visitors, members, staff, volunteers and onsite contractors. To that end, the Gallery will be holding an industry consultation, seeking information that will assist it in drafting the RFP requirements. This consultation will be held at the Gallery on Monday, November 9, 2015 at 2 p.m. We invite all interested parties to attend. Should you wish to attend, please RSVP Julie Peckham via email at j•••••••@•••••••.ca by end of business on Friday, November 6.
