The University of Stirling awards a three-year contract to Pelican Procurement Services
University of Stirling utilised our Food Broker Services Framework which provided their catering team with instant and compliant access to procure all their catering supplies using a single supplier. This led to them selecting Pelican as the most suited partner to meet their catering team’s needs.
Pelican Procurement Services, an Avendra Group Company, recently secured a three-year contract from the University of Stirling. This contract provides comprehensive procurement services and an advanced eProcurement system. The Pelican team will support the University in achieving its primary objective to drive operational savings and enhance efficiencies throughout its catering, retail, hotel, and other hospitality operations.
