## Description
RPJ3 Group are seeking to procure a number of providers for a multi-supplier framework for catering services for a group of primary schools and one secondary school in North Lincolnshire (NLPSG). The main objective of this procurement exercise is to deliver the procurement of a framework that will enable RPJ3 Group to source catering services for the group of schools.
There will be at least initially 9 schools in this framework which will be subject of direct award, with other schools using a later call off.
It should be noted that it is not mandatory for the schools to use this framework. Schools will only call off from this agreement if they have a requirement to do so. It is envisaged the number of caterers on the framework will be between 2-3
The 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.
This framework process is targeted to have a catering contract in place to commence in April 2022. Please note that this process covers all catering services within the schools with full tender costings and proposals for the 9 schools for a contract start in April 2022. 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). Following the analysis of SQ’s the selected bidders will be invited to attend site surveys and tender briefing initially planned for late September 2021. Tender responses deadline is planned as mid-October 2021 and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in late November 2021. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period (5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).
