## Description
The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for Hodge Hill College & Braidwood School for the Deaf.
Whilst there are two distinctly separate clients and contracts in this tender, both clients share the same kitchen and dining room facilities and both contracts shall be awarded to the same contractor. Each client shall have their own specific operational requirements, and P&L to track the financial performance of their respective catering services.
It is anticipated that catering costs shall be allocated proportionately, based upon the number of meals served to each client.
Hodge Hill College:
We are a large 11-16 co-educational school serving East Birmingham. As one of the highest achieving schools in Birmingham, we work hard to get the best out of everyone; whether that is on the sports pitch, performing in one of our musical and drama productions, producing stunning artworks or taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Team Hodge Hill will always go above and beyond.
Over recent years the school has undergone a major programme of works to update all facilities. We now boast state of the art science laboratories and food technology areas as well as upgraded art and design studios, music technology and ICT facilities. Our brand new 3G sports pitches feature the latest artificial pitch surfaces and are floodlit to allow all year-round usage.
In July 2020, we engaged the services of our architect to develop two exciting schemes. The first scheme is to develop plans for our much-needed Sports Hall, and the second scheme is for a Sixth Form block which would allow the pupils of Hodge Hill to have access to post-16 education in their locality. Together they represent an exciting vision for Hodge Hill College, its staff, pupils and the wider community. We do hope you will all support these developments and convince the City Council to support them by accessing central government funding to finance the building of the schemes
Braidwood Trust School for the Deaf:
At Braidwood, we understand that realising the potential contained within each individual is the work of a lifetime. Every individual, and every situation has 'potential' and a myriad of outcomes are possible. We understand that respecting, supporting and caring for one another is the responsibility of everyone in our school. We therefore employ a Total Communication approach - using every means possible to communicate with one another through British Sign Language, Sign Supported English and speech.
It is important to us that all partners understand the very central role communication plays for our children and staff and makes best their endeavours in communicating clearly. Braidwood will deliver communication training support to all the successful supplier’s staff, to ensure that they can proactively communicate and engage effectively with our pupils.
