GY5 has been involved in large scale framework agreements for the nomination of food service consultants. This has allowed clients to make informed choices on consulting businesses whilst being supported by formal documentation and selection criteria. This protects clients in many ways- not least by ensuring there are no conflicts of interest and the companies selected have transparent income. Delivering the Consultant Selection service testifies GY5’s reputation and integrity in the industry and wider client market and is Highly Regarded in terms of improving the Quality and Competency of the Food Service Consulting sector.

The explosion of consulting businesses in education, healthcare, B&I, private & public catering and other sectors has resulted in clients and providers alike being pressurised into un-workable projects with sometimes un-auditable financial arrangements.

Both clients and providers concur that consulting services are essential and consultants need to:

Abide by codes of conduct
Be accountable to all stakeholders
Be Independent and Objective
Operate to a Quality Standard

If you require an independent Consultant Selection process we can:

Advise clients on how to select consultants
Provide advice and guidance on scoping out projects and merge this into specification documents
Provide contract templates
Produce framework agreements for large groups and client specific sectors

When selecting a consultant we advise on: Ethics, codes of conduct, financial arrangements, competencies, experience and integrity to ensure clients can confidently select the right consultant for their projects.

How does it work?

The client submits to us their details and details of their project, strategy and short, medium and long term goals for their catering operations. We then discuss with the client the right support needed and guide them accordingly. This is staggered and flexible to include:

Drafting a scope of works and specification document for use by the client
Drafting a contract document, Invitation to tender and pricing schedule for use by the client
Giving general advice and guidance and further discussion dependent on the complexity

If you require an independent Consultant Selection process we can advise clients on how to select consultants, providing advice and guidance on scoping out projects and merge this into specification documents. Then Providing contract templates and producing the necessary framework agreements for large groups and client specific sectors.
