What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe successful Supplier will be required to provide catering and any requested hospitality services for Tandridge Learning Trust.
7 schools are part of the tender, and we are seeking tender submissions for the whole contract.
Tandridge Learning trust is a well-established trust situated across Surrey, Kent & West Sussex and will include at the commencement of this contract the following schools where the successful contractor will be required to deliver a service and meet the requirements of the specification at each school from the contract commencement.
The schools which will be part of the tender are:
1 - Secondary School & 6 – Primary Schools
•Warlingham School & Sixth Form College, Tithepit Shaw Lane, Warlingham, Surrey CR6 9YB
•Bletchingley Village Primary School & Nursery, Coneybury, Bletchingley, Surrey, RH1 4PP

•Tatsfield Primary School, 3 Ship Hill, Tatsfield, Westerham, Kent, TN16 2AH
•Woodlea Primary School, Long Hill, Woldingham, Surrey, CR3 7EP
In addition, the Trust is expected to grow in the number of schools becoming part of the trust during this contract period, and the provision of catering services within these schools when they have joined the trust will fall under the scope of this contract. The successful contractor will be expected to provide the service within these additional schools using the same costing model, ratio’s etc they applied to their successful tender submission for the Tandridge Learning Trust at the point of tender submission. The duration of the contract for these schools will not be increased, and they will join the contract for the remaining contract period that exists at the point of entry into the Trust.
