• As part of an overall major development, the Students Union were redeveloping their catering, bar and social areas.
• As part of the redevelopment, all the current service offers were under review.
• Whilst remaining an in-house operation, the Students Union required a “clean eyed” approach of a professional catering consultant to support the in-house team through the service and facility redevelopment.

The Students Union engaged Review Consultancy to;

• Work with the in-house team to determine the new service offers appropriate to today’s students’ aspirations,
• Working with the architect and main contractor, to redesign their initial designs (which were now out of date and too expensive) based on the new service offers,
• With the main contractor, tender and evaluate the equipment purchase, installation and commissioning based on the redesign,
• To support the SU to decide the winning tenderer and finalise a fixed price,
• To oversee the final specification, installation and commissioning.

• All the new service areas were delivered and commissioned as per the designs, specifications and on time.
• Over £150K was saved on the original designs.
• The first area became operational in September 2009 and has so far increased sales by 400% on previous trading.
