Contractors must provide details of the service they propose to carry out in their Tender submission. Contractors can present their information in whatever format they choose. Schools Background St Augustine's Academy require a school meal service that provides both healthy and balanced meal options, in line with DFE guidelines. We believe that there is a link between a healthy diet and the ability to learn effectively, and therefore, we require this important element of the school day to benefit our pupils. We want every child or parent to be able to choose, and be provided with, their preferred meal choice. We also want every child to enjoy their meal in a well prepared and safe dining area. We understand the school has a responsibility to promote and encourage healthy eating and we require a caterer to work with the school on developing this further. It is very important that the service delivers both value for money as well as high standards in procurement, production and customer care. Contractors are invited to visit the School and catering facilities to find out more, and are referred to the school's Ofsted Report (available online), and our website: www.staugustine'sacademy.co.uk Number of Pupils on Roll: 176 Number of Free School Meals: 73 UIFSM (of which 18 FSM, years R-2), 45 FSM (years 3-6) Total FSM = 63 (excluding UIFSM) Current Average Daily Uptake: 134 meals including FSM and paid. Current Meal Price: 2.50 Contract Period The contract shall commence on a date to be confirmed but no later than 1st January 2026 for a period of three years and will continue on a rolling basis. Thereafter one terms notice will be required for termination. Technical Requirements 1.

This should include a unit cost for children's and adult's meals, as well as any other associated contract costs.
