Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure

3 lots · all with a published value (£3,295,000 together)
Lot #1Chosen Hill SchoolAwarded 5 yrsPublished value£1,420,000

The contract/s covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the Schools, including hospitality and free issue requirements.

The duration of the contract/s offered is three years commencing on 1 August 2022, concluding on 31 July 2025, with the opportunity to extend by up to an additional two years at the discretion of each governing body.

The contract is offered on a ‘guaranteed performance’ basis with all free issue requirements and hospitality being recharged on consumption at “net” food cost only.

The quality of food provision will be critical and indeed your organisation must be flexible enough to source bakery, meat, fruit and vegetables and dairy products through local suppliers based no more than 25 miles from the School/s. It is expected that menus will feature and utilise products in season.

NB: Please note that the successful contractor/s will pay the procurement consultancy fee on award for each lot of this contract, which will be to the value of:

•Chosen Hill School - £3,000.00 plus VAT.

•Cirencester Kingshill School - £3,000.00 plus VAT.

•Farmors School - £3,500.00 plus VAT.

This fee will be invoiced immediately after the 10 day standstill period. To ensure transparency, you will clearly show within your management fee a breakdown of this fee, over the initial three year length of the contract. The total fee will be paid by the successful contractor, in full to Litmus, by no later than Friday 22nd July 2022.
