About this opportunity
The University of Georgia Dining Services is seeking a food service strategy and design consultant through an electronic Request for Proposals (eRFP) issued under the State Purchasing Act to develop a comprehensive master plan for Snelling and Oglethorpe Dining Commons. The primary objective is to review the current dining services program and provide strategic recommendations for long-term operational and design improvements. Qualified firms will be expected to deliver a detailed master plan that informs programmatic decisions and supports fiscal year 2027 construction planning. The proposal is due by October 24, 2025, with an evaluation process that may include top-ranked suppliers demonstrating their proposed solutions. The state entity reserves the right to invite top-ranked suppliers for technical demonstrations, though these presentations will not allow for proposal revisions. Evaluation criteria will assess the consultant's ability to provide strategic insights, operational recommendations, and design expertise specific to university dining services infrastructure.
While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the procurement documents, the contract appears to be open to qualified consulting firms with expertise in food service strategy and campus dining facility design. The procurement is focused on obtaining high-quality consulting services for the University of Georgia, with the potential for an initial contract term that allows for comprehensive project completion and optional subsequent renewals. The scope suggests a potentially significant consulting engagement, though specific budget ranges are not specified in the provided documentation. The contract will result from a competitive proposal process administered by the state of Georgia, with the University of Georgia Dining Services as the primary stakeholder. Potential respondents should be prepared to provide comprehensive strategic recommendations that can guide long-term dining services planning and facility optimization for the university's dining commons facilities.
