The aims of the framework include: •Continued improvement of nutritional quality and consistency of school meals across Southwark •Tackling disadvantage and reducing inequalities •Enhancing social value through job creation for local people, payment of London Living Wage (LLW) and supporting the local economy •Realising the opportunities for meeting the Council’s social value, food security, environmental sustainability and climate emergency agenda. Within Southwark, there are currently 4 nursery schools, 74 primary schools (including 3 special schools) and 25 secondary schools (including 5 special schools). The value of the school meals market in Southwark is estimated at around £8.3m (primary) and £5.3m (secondary) annually. Currently, most primary school outsourced contracts are for a single school, rather than a group, each with different contract terms. Many secondary school contracts are either in house or as part of an academy grouped contract. Most contracts are currently two to three years in duration. ## Lots (3) ### Lot 1: Lot 1 – Maintained nursery schools - food service provision - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 55524000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Catering services for Maintained nursery schools - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 2: Lot 2 – Primary and special schools - food service provision (including nursery classes in primary schools) - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 55524000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Catering servics for Primary and special schools (including nursery classes in primary schools) - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 3: Lot 3 – Secondary schools - food service provision - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 55524000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Catering services for Secondary schools including all through schools - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (14) - **Award:** Lot 1 – Maintained nursery schools - food service provision (active) - Award id: `051388-2025-Project_9559-1` - Supplier(s): **Lunchtime Company** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-169023` - Value: £8,000,000 † (exc.
