When full, this new Primary School will have 630 pupils on roll, all of which will require a 100% hot meal offer, mirroring the vision of Thames View Infants.
Thames View Infants is a thriving, award-winning, four-form multi-cultural Academy, situated within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. TVI has been judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted across three consecutive Inspections (in 2009, 2014 & 2024). We work hard to provide a caring, fun, vibrant and supportive learning community where every child and their family really do matter. 
Further information regarding the School can be obtained here: https://thamesviewinfants.org and the trust, here: https://tvilearning.org/ 
Tender information:
The successful tenderer will be required to provide high quality catering services to Thames View Infants, which has 360 pupils (Reception to Year 2), an 18-place 30 hours’ Nursery, and 80 teaching and support staff. 
The contract term being tendered is for three years, 25th May 2026 – 31st July 2029. There is an option for a further extension period for up to two additional years to 31st July 2031.

At TVI, we recognise that everybody’s relationship with food is deeply complex, often rooted in intergenerational and traditional family habits. Our mission is to constructively challenge these inherited dispositions and build a truly positive food culture.  We place food at the heart of the curriculum through whole-School and in-class family food events. Our ambition is to ensure every child is able to enjoy a wide variety of foods —setting a foundation for a lifelong and healthy love of food.  This holistic approach, in partnership with our families and catering provider, aims to transform children's dispositions towards food.  We are passionate about this ethos and the Headteacher regularly speaks at national conferences on this vision.
At Thames View Infants, we serve a 100% hot meal offer for all children (no packed lunches are permitted).  We desire a high quality food offer for our children, including fresh locally sourced ingredients prepared on site, with a menu design that is flexible to suit the requirements of the School’s multicultural demographic. Meal choices must be balanced and change depending on the season, including themed menu days.
We are engaged in our catering offer.  We have a 27-place High Needs Provision with children who may require a restrictive diet due to sensory sensitivities.  We run a specialist Lunch Club dedicated to supporting children ...
