        "description": "Fylde Coast Academy Trust (FCAT) are seeking to procure a number of providers for a multi-supplier framework for catering services. The main objective of this procurement exercise is to deliver the procurement of a framework that will enable FCAT to source catering services for its schools.\nThere are initially 5 schools in this framework, however, other schools may call off later.\nIt should be noted that it is not mandatory for FCAT schools to use this framework. Schools will only call off from this agreement if they have a requirement to do so. It is envisaged that the number of contractors on the framework will be between 1 and 3\nThe provision of the service must demonstrate the best value approach and be flexible in its delivery and operation to ensure that the needs and ethos of individual schools are supported.\nThis framework process is targeted to have a catering contract in place to commence in November 2021. Please note that this process covers all catering services within FCAT primary and secondary schools with full tender costings and proposals for the 5 schools for a contract start in November 2021. These details will be further explained in the ITT documents. The process will include the creation of a select bidder list following analysis of SQ documents (within which the scoring criteria is included). The nature of the contract demands a good local infrastructure to provide and maintain the level and standard of catering service and support required by the trust. Labour resource/relief cover is very important. We have set a minimum level of turnover for this tender at 250,000 GBP which takes into account the contract turnover and cash flow associations. This is a discretionary pass/fail question on the basis that we will consider any additional guarantees and formal assurances such as parent company guarantors or similar which must be included to support any submission. We have set a minimum Employer's (compulsory) liability insurance of 10,000,000 GBP. Following the analysis of SQ’s the selected bidders will be invited to attend a site survey and tender briefing initially planned for early June 2021. Tender responses deadline is planned as mid-July and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in mid-September. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period(5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).",
