The contract is for four years, and is worth £4.8m to Encore – which overcame the challenge of over 30 of the world’s largest catering companies in a competitive tender.
The City of Glasgow contract means that Encore will operate all catering outlets for students and staff in the buildings the college inherited from the three previous establishments which make up the new supercollege – but that will also extend to all outlets in the Super Campus which is about to be built.
Between these two giant education establishments, Encore will cater for well in excess of 50,000 students and staff on a daily basis.
Encore is the corporate catering and hospitality business of Cordia, the arm’s-length company formed by Glasgow City Council to run its frontline services – while being free to source private sector contracts.
