Why public sector contracts require the right contractor

Public sector catering demands more than a van and a toolbox

MoD sites, council facilities and public sector organisations can’t appoint contractors without the right accreditations, insurance and documentation. We meet every requirement — and we already work across the public sector in Kent.

MoD site requirements

Kent MoD sites have specific contractor vetting, site access and security requirements. Our engineers are experienced with MoD site protocols and carry the accreditations needed to gain site clearance and work within the required procedures.

Council and civic procurement

Dover District Council and Ashford Borough Council catering operations require contractors who meet local authority procurement standards. Our triple-ISO certification, £5m PLI and full documentation trail satisfy those requirements at every level.

Audit and inspection readiness

Our ISO 9001-certified service produces gas certificates, F-gas compliance records and equipment-condition reports in the format public sector auditors expect. No chasing paperwork after the visit — it comes with the job.

Kent public sector clients we look after

The public sector kitchens we service across Kent
