Description

Ireland will take over the Presidency of the Council of the EU on 1 July 2026. The requirement for catering services arises from an anticipated increase in representational activity during the Presidency period from July to December 2026. A higher volume and frequency of events will necessitate a reliable, flexible catering service to support a range of meetings and events.

These services are required to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality food and beverage offerings that meet operational needs, support a positive attendee experience, and enable the PRB to effectively host and facilitate its programme of events. The services are required to commence by 1 July 2026.
