ABBOTSFORD CONVENT
Abbotsford Convent is Australia’s largest multi-arts precinct, bringing together arts, culture, learning and community across its historic 16-acre site in Melbourne. Managed by the not-for-profit Abbotsford Convent Foundation, the precinct is home to a diverse creative community and hosts an extensive program of arts, cultural, community and private events.
Abbotsford Convent Foundation engaged Perfectly Paired to provide specialist catering consultancy and end-to-end management of its Event Catering Services Request for Tender, with a focus on supporting greater activation of the precinct through events.
The procurement required a considered approach to event catering that respected the Convent’s artist and broader community while supporting its commercial objectives.
