## Description
The school is tendering their catering services to deliver the very best service for every child at the school. The initial contract duration is set for three years, starting on 23rd February 2026, with a potential extension for two more years contingent on client satisfaction and mutual agreement on budgets and service levels. 
The primary objective of this contract is to enhance services, maximising sales and Free School Meal (FSM) uptake through proactive management, consistent high-quality food and robust, tangible contract support. The School and CCL (Cohesion Consulting Ltd) expect the successful Contractor to guarantee their financial proposal within reason and uphold excellent standards. The business manager has requested that in this tender exercise the bidders focus on:
A transformational working partnership, delivered via a TUPE compliant bid, with additional recommendations on service equipment, serving points, staffing levels and a bespoke food concept to drive sales and uptake.
In essence, the School needs to be convinced the bidders can deliver on their promises, achieve sales targets, implement service enhancements effectively and support the School in day-to-day operations. The school reserves the right to award its own contract, with the provision to revert to an ‘insourced’ solution or a ‘no award’ decision if the proposals fail to convince. 
The estimated contract turnover for three years including VAT stands at approximately £750,000. Due to the challenging contract timelines, the contract is being tendered under the light touch regime with an accelerated timeline.
