## Description
The successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering services for Waverley Education Foundation and Al-Furqan Primary School.
Waverley School is larger than the average-sized school. It is an all through school for pupils aged 4-19 currently there are circa 1,800 pupils on role and within Waverley Studio College a further 230 pupils. From September 2026 there will be an intake of Nursery pupils numbering about 40.
Waverley School moved into a brand-new purpose-built facility in 2013 and has continued to thrive. It is the Executive Principal’s and the Trustee’s aim to continue to build on this and wish to employ a suitably skilled, flexible and experienced catering contractor who will recognise the changes that have taken place over the past few years, providing advice, innovation and expertise. This will be a major benefit to the school and will contribute significantly towards the Client’s ongoing objectives.
Al-Furqan Primary School currently has approximately 630 pupils on roll. Typically, Al-Furqan Primary School will be open for 185 trading days per annum when Eid holidays and celebrations are considered. Please note the cost of catering is based on t185 days as detailed below.
The schools firmly believe that with improved choice and quality there is a real opportunity to increase this level of uptake. Parents are committed to taking up the service as long as the quality improves, and it is seen as a Value for Money offer.
The contract covers the scope for the provision of all catering services, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements.
The contract being offered will commence on 1st April 2027 for 3 years, with the potential to extend for up to a further 3 years and will be on a guaranteed performance basis.
The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of all catering services within the Foundation and at Al-Furqan Primary School (Please note separate contractors might be chosen). The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a new food service offer with consistent high standards of food operations across both Schools.
Regular customer and parental engagement (using digital platforms and social media) will be required to ensure this is the case moving into the contract term.
