What is being bought

Dyson Perrins CofE Academy is a co-educational secondary school in Malvern, Worcestershire. The School caters for approx. 600 students, aged between 11 and 16, from across Malvern, surrounding villages and neighbouring towns. The School is looking to source a catering services provider from April 2027 for a new 3-year contract (plus possible 2 year extension on a +1year, +1year basis). The successful supplier is to provide a healthy, high quality and value for money catering service to all students and staff, with hospitality as required. The services are currently outsourced and therefore TUPE will apply.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 55. The category anchor is School catering services (55524000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
