The contract for provision of catering services to the Plough Lane offices was awarded in 2014 to Reyes Catering Co and the mechanism for payment was via a profit share for Herefordshire Council, this has proved cumbersome to manage and the income from this has proved negligible therefore a more simple process for securing income to Herefordshire Council is required.

This report therefore seeks permission to alter the existing contract from a profit sharing basis to a fixed monthly rental.This will ensure constant income to the council and simplify the costs of trying to obtain that income.
