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. These new standards of operation should meet the needs of the pupils’ moving forwards into this contract term. The current range of foods needs to be expanded along with the service provision. It is one of the objectives of this tender that the successful contractor will utilise a truly local supply chain from the Birmingham area to source all fresh produce, namely being: Bakery Products Meat Fruit and Vegetables Dairy Products The contract at each school will operate on a guaranteed basis (return or subsidy) with all free school meals charged to the client monthly at net food cost only.

It is our objective to reduce this subsidy during this contract term by encouraging more of the pupils to use the school catering facilities.
