    "description": "This is a Pre-Market Engagement Exercise for Lift Schools. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement exercise is to inform suppliers in the current market and gain information to inform a potential future procurement.\nAt this stage, any information gathered through this exercise will inform the Trust internal business planning and the subsequent procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase and is not part of a formal procurement process. \nThe current Trust Catering Service is responsible for producing meals per day to children within nursery, primary, special, secondary schools including 6th form provision. Spend annually is currently estimated at £10million.\nLift Schools was founded in 2008 (as Academies Enterprise Trust) and we currently have a total of 57 schools (primary, secondary and special) which is increasing to 58 from 1 January 2026 and  is an exempt charitable company. Our turnover for the year 2023/24 was £290.7m. Currently the trust spans over 5 regions in England from Isle of Wight to Yorkshire.\nThe trust has DFE approval to increase our number of primary schools in the future and we are in active discussions at this time with a number of potential schools. \nWe have a total of four schools that are classed as PFI schools along with a further school which is a part PFI school where we are responsible for the soft FM services (catering and cleaning) whilst they manage hard FM services. \nThe current Trust Catering Service is responsible for producing meals per day to children within nursery, primary, special, secondary schools including 6th form provision. Spend per annum is currently estimated at £10million.\nWe as a trust experience a number of challenges of which we wish to explore for example;\nThe cost of production versus the school meal charge (keeping costs down)\nConsistency on quality and size of meals across all our sites in meeting food standards\nFull commitment to recycling/waste management \nThe commitment to align the food service to the curriculum goals\nEncouraging Healthy Eating\nConsistency of skills in catering staff\nManagement of a trust wide contract\nFood Shortages and supply chain issues\nCosts and availability of fresh produce\nReduction of food miles\nLack of applicants for catering positions\nAdherence to and flexibility within school food standards\nThe trust wishes to look at possible other models which will address the issues currently being experienced. We wish to discuss with suppliers how we can best meet these challenges to enhance our catering provision.",
