Lot details

Lot 1

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for The Cheviot Learning Trust. Contract value = £1,140,000 per annum with the total potential lifetime value of £5.7m. The initial contract award will be for 3 years with the option of 2 x 1-year extensions. Cheviot Learning Trust educates around 5500 students across 18 schools in Northumberland between the ages of 2 and 19 and employs over 750 staff. They are a three tier Trust with some rural and small schools. The trust self-delivers catering at 17 of the schools, and the 18th school is outsourced. The trust now wishes to appoint a suitably qualified organisation to deliver catering at 11 of the 18 schools. Whilst it’s the trusts intention to award all 11 schools to a single contractor, the trust reserves the right to remove schools from this process if it is financially disadvantaged by including them. The trust LGPS is South Tyneside, who have confirmed that LGPS will be a pass-through agreement, which is the Trusts preference. The schools that form this tender opportunity are; High Schools; The King Edward VI, Cottingwood Lane, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 1DN Middle Schools; Newminster, Mitford Road, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 1RH Chantry, Mitford Road, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 1RQ OMSOvingham, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 6DE Highfield, Highfield Lane, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 6EY First Schools; Stobhillgate, Stobhill, Morpeth, NE61 2HA Morpeth All Saints, Pinewood Drive, Lancaster Park, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 3RD Wylam, Bell Road, Wylam, Northumberland, NE41 8EH Prudhoe Castle, Castle Road, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 6PH Broomley, Main Road, Stocksfield, Northumberland, NE43 7NN Whittonstall, Main Road, Whittonstall, Consett, Northumberland, DH8 9JN Additional Schools There is also the potential for further schools in the area to join during the term of the contract. If further establishments join at any time, they do form part of the Service and will be contracted with on the basis of the same terms, conditions and common requirements agreed for the main Service. The Customer offers no guarantee that further establishments will take up this Service or of final meal numbers involved. The trusts Purpose; Our core purpose is to advance education for the public benefit. We believe that each school in the Trust family has unique qualities to share and unique challenges to be resolved. Deep collaboration is a key Trust expectation that helps us to deliver significant benefits for the students, the staff and the schools that form the Trust. Each school is stronger in the Trust family; delivering a better education for the public good than if they were outside the Trust. The trusts Vision; Our purpose is to deliver excellent education for the benefit of all and our mission is to develop all our young people to have the opportunity to succeed. The trusts Values; Everything we do is based around the values that we hold dear: Innovation We’re here to shape the future, which is why we all have a responsibility to be thinking about the big issues of tomorrow; Cooperation We nurture the relationships that we’ve built over many years and we know by working together we can achieve more than we can alone; Respect We take the time to understand and make decisions and have due regard for the feelings, wishes and rights of others. Excellence We will always strive for continuous improvement and will produce the best solutions and deliver the best services possible.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 55. The category anchor is School catering services (55524000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

        "description": "The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for The Cheviot Learning Trust.\nContract value = £1,140,000 per annum with the total potential lifetime value of £5.7m. The initial contract award will be for 3 years with the option of 2 x 1-year extensions.\nCheviot Learning Trust educates around 5500 students across 18 schools in Northumberland between the ages of 2 and 19 and employs over 750 staff. They are a three tier Trust with some rural and small schools. The trust self-delivers catering at 17 of the schools, and the 18th school is outsourced. The trust now wishes to appoint a suitably qualified organisation to deliver catering at 11 of the 18 schools. Whilst it’s the trusts intention to award all 11 schools to a single contractor, the trust reserves the right to remove schools from this process if it is financially disadvantaged by including them.\nThe trust LGPS is South Tyneside, who have confirmed that LGPS will be a pass-through agreement, which is the Trusts preference. \nThe schools that form this tender opportunity are;\nHigh Schools;\nThe King Edward VI, Cottingwood Lane, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 1DN \nMiddle Schools;\nNewminster, Mitford Road, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 1RH \nChantry, Mitford Road, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 1RQ \nOMSOvingham, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 6DE\nHighfield, Highfield Lane, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 6EY \nFirst Schools;\nStobhillgate, Stobhill, Morpeth, NE61 2HA \nMorpeth All Saints, Pinewood Drive, Lancaster Park, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 3RD \nWylam, Bell Road, Wylam, Northumberland, NE41 8EH \nPrudhoe Castle, Castle Road, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 6PH \nBroomley, Main Road, Stocksfield, Northumberland, NE43 7NN\nWhittonstall, Main Road, Whittonstall, Consett, Northumberland, DH8 9JN\nAdditional Schools   \nThere is also the potential for further schools in the area to join during the term of the contract. If further establishments join at any time, they do form part of the Service and will be contracted with on the basis of the same terms, conditions and common requirements agreed for the main Service.  \nThe Customer offers no guarantee that further establishments will take up this Service or of final meal numbers involved. \nThe trusts Purpose; Our core purpose is to advance education for the public benefit. We believe that each school in the Trust family has unique qualities to share and unique challenges to be resolved. Deep collaboration is a key Trust expectation that helps us to deliver significant benefits for the students, the staff and the schools that form the Trust. Each school is stronger in the Trust family; delivering a better education for the public good than if they were outside the Trust.\nThe trusts Vision; Our purpose is to deliver excellent education for the benefit of all and our mission is to develop all our young people to have the opportunity to succeed.\nThe trusts Values; Everything we do is based around the values that we hold dear: Innovation We’re here to shape the future, which is why we all have a responsibility to be thinking about the big issues of tomorrow; Cooperation We nurture the relationships that we’ve built over many years and we know by working together we can achieve more than we can alone; Respect We take the time to understand and make decisions and have due regard for the feelings, wishes and rights of others. Excellence We will always strive for continuous improvement and will produce the best solutions and deliver the best services possible.",
