## Description
Virano Frameworks Ltd was seeking to establish a single supplier framework agreement for the provision of managed catering services, primarily for education settings and other eligible contracting authorities. The framework is intended to support schools, academies, multi-academy trusts, colleges, universities and other educational bodies with the delivery of compliant, high-quality and value-for-money managed catering services. The framework will cover managed school catering and school meal services, including primary meal provision, secondary retail catering provision and mixed primary/secondary estate arrangements. Services may include menu development, food and ingredient supply, mobilisation, operational management support, compliance support, training, reporting, performance monitoring, contract management and continuous improvement under a managed service model. The framework will be awarded to one supplier only. Future call-off contracts may be awarded to the appointed supplier in accordance with the framework agreement and call-off methodology set out in the procurement documents. Appointment to the framework does not guarantee any minimum level of work, value, volume or exclusivity. Call-off contracts must remain within the scope of the framework, specification, pricing methodology and framework terms. The call-off process will be used to confirm customer-specific requirements, apply the approved pricing methodology, agree mobilisation and service-specific details and complete the relevant call-off contract.
