What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Success for All Educational Trust (“SFAET” or “the Trust”) is a Multi-Academy Trust based within the London Borough of Havering, currently comprising five schools across both primary and secondary phases. The Trust includes Redden Court School, The Royal Liberty School, Sanders Draper, Rise Park Infant School and Rise Park Junior School.
Although Rise Park Infant School and Rise Park Junior School are two separate schools (with unique URNs), they should be treated as one entity for the purpose of the catering contract.

The Contract period will be for 3 years initially, with the option to extend for two further one-year periods at the discretion of the Client.
