The Contract team
The Compass at Oxford catering contract is managed between Strategic Facilities Management and Compass Group UK. The Head of Contracts oversees the contract from the University's perspective, working closely with colleagues in purchasing.
As a team, our aim is always to provide the best possible service to the University.
Good work taking place
We have been busy! Since the contract began we have:
- set up quarterly stakeholder working groups to engage with the cafe needs and aspirations of staff and students
- adapted and improved the service based on the working groups discussions
- refurbished 18 departmental cafes, along with the University Club.
Sustainability is at the core of our relationship with Compass. Compass are putting all the cafes through The Sustainable Restaurant Association accreditation to ensure our commitment and actions are in line with industry best practice.
