Chelmer Valley High School wish to be at the forefront of School catering

and as such require a modern, branded offer that reflects the leading trends

in the industry.

At this time, the School's wish is to commence a catering contract, with a

partner who shares their vision for a customer-focused service that attracts

the maximum number of students. The meals that are to be provided must

be appealing to customers, imaginative, provide good value for money and

be nutritionally balanced to encourage all students to make an educated

choice.

The School now feel that it is time to refresh the current contract, to allow

the service to be taken to the next level, which will deliver the latest

catering concepts and an even better service for its students.11

The School's objectives for the new contract are as follows: -

• A catering service that is well managed and requires minimal

involvement from the School's management team.

• A strong Contractor Area Manager who will develop and lead the team

to deliver a customer service focused offer and spend a substantial

amount of time on site at the outset to undertake this.

• A Contractor who is proactive in their relationship management with

the School.

• Investment in the School's Catering service through increased

marketing in return for a tenure of contract.

• A higher number of students and staff using the facilities by providing

a high quality, affordable and nutritious meal.

• A catering service that encourages students to take a heathy and

balanced meal.

• Food and drinks that look appetising and are attractively presented.
• A hospitality service that will help showcase the School through

events and to visitors.

• A Contractor that adopts a flexible and proactive approach to all

School activities.

• A service that is professionally merchandised and marketed with

discretion and to the mutual benefit of the School and the Contractor.

• A Contractor that operates using the optimum level of staffing Additional information: The documents you require can be obtained on request by emailing [email protected]
