This appears in a text that describes the restructuring of a product range offered by a holiday company.
Context:
Die bereits vor Ort bestehenden Dienstleistungs- und Freizeitangebote werden bis zum Jahr 2008 weiter ausgebaut. „Mit diesem Ansatz verabschieden wir uns von einem ***Einheitsangebot*** und orientieren uns noch stärker an der Individualität unserer Partner“
Attempts so far:
I know what it means but can't find the right words yet. My working translation is "one-size-fits-all offer" or the somewhat cumbersome "uniformity of range of products and services".
Can anybody help? Thanks

Comment: "Thank you to everybody for your good answers. I will join the happy throng of agreers as "Standard" is of course a very neat solution, with "move away from providing uniform facilities/services" coming a close second. "

I think this fits the fairly formal tone of the piece you have quoted.
