The School requires a ‘delivered-in hot’ service as there is no production kitchen on site. The School is seeking to appoint a catering partner capable of delivering a high-quality, reliable and engaging meal service that supports the wellbeing of all pupils. The initial contract duration will be three years, commencing on 1st September 2026, with the option to extend for a further two years (1+1), subject to satisfactory performance, mutual agreement on budgets and continued service excellence. The estimated annual contract value is approximately £77,131, equating to an estimated total contract value of approximately £231,393 over three years. The primary objective of this contract is to enhance the catering provision, maximising meal uptake and Free School Meal (FSM) participation through strong operational management, consistently high-quality food and a proactive, supportive partnership approach. The School and Cohesion Consulting Ltd (CCL) expect the successful Contractor to reasonably guarantee their financial proposal, demonstrating value for money while maintaining excellent standards of service delivery. The School’s vision, as outlined by the Headteacher, is centred on providing an ambitious, inclusive and supportive environment where every child can thrive. This ethos should be reflected within the catering provision, ensuring that lunchtime is a positive, engaging and inclusive experience for all pupils. As part of this tender exercise, bidders are expected to focus on: • Presenting a bespoke food offer that is nutritionally balanced, appealing to pupils and designed to maximise uptake • Demonstration how they will drive participation, improve the dining experience and support the School’s wider objectives. Page 4 In essence, the School needs to be convinced the successful Contractor can deliver on their promises, achieve sales targets, implement service enhancements effectively and provide reliable day-to-day operational support. The School reserves the right not to award the contract, including the option to consider an insourced solution, should submissions fail to meet the required standard. This procurement is being conducted in line with the principles of the Procurement Act 2023. The School is adopting a single-stage competitive tendering process, whereby all interested bidders are invited to submit a full tender response.
