Item Description:

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is an international financial institution and a specialised agency of the United Nations dedicated to eradicating poverty and hunger in rural areas of developing countries.

IFAD’s Headquarters (HQ) is located in Via Paolo di Dono, 44, Rome, Italy where there is a cafeteria inside the premises with the restricted access for the people who are inside of the HQ. The number of people present at HQ on a daily basis may vary between 600 and 650. These people are potential cafeteria customers and come from different countries with different cultural backgrounds. The cafeteria customers include IFAD staff, consultants, interns and service providers as well as external visitors including high level government officials, international meeting participants and guests.

IFAD is looking for a Contractor that can easily adapt to the multi-ethnic character of IFAD. Therefore, with the launch of this tender, IFAD welcomes proposals with innovative and creative ideas that ensure the most hygienic, pleasant and efficient service to the customers at high quality standards both for services already in place as for potential additional services (bar in -1 and the roof garden).
The current services include: services for end consumers (a self-service cafeteria, a coffee bar and vending machines placed on various floors of the HQ building) and services for IFAD (official catering services for IFAD meetings and events held in the HQ premises).
