The successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering services for Woodrush High School. Woodrush High School, an extremely popular and over-subscribed Academy for 11 to 18-year olds. Our school is composed of the main school site and the modern Community Hub building: containing the community and library, Rush Gym, Cafe, Youth Centre and our Training Consortium. Each of these elements of Woodrush reflects our commitment to being at the heart of the community, serving children and residents and growing specialist in learning, teaching and youth support. In our most recent inspection we were judged by Ofsted with ‘Outstanding’ leadership & management and ‘Outstanding’ student personal development, behaviour and welfare. Our pastoral care is a clear strength and ensures that students and staff feel safe, valued and are happy to be part of our school. Indeed, visitors comment on the 'warmth' and sense of 'family' which is tangible around the school. The contract covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the School, including hospitality and free issue requirements. The duration of the contract offered is three years commencing on 1 January 2023, concluding on 31 December 2026, with the opportunity to extend by up to an additional two years at the discretion of the governing body. The contract is offered on a ‘guaranteed performance’ basis. Currently Cash Meal Deals are at a maximum of £2.34, with Free School Meals at Margin, charged on what pupils actually select, up to a maximum daily cost of £2.34. Hospitality is recharged on consumption at “net” food cost only. It is appreciated that a level of investment may be identified as a requirement of your bid, and therefore bidders are encouraged to provide detailed information of any equipment felt necessary. Bidders must provide the equipment make, model and cost and also a justification of how this equipment will assist in fulfilling the proposal and potential of the service. All investment suggested must be fully justified within the Service Development and Finance sections of your Bidder Response. The level of investment provided will be at the School’s discretion, subject to the method of obtaining the investment for the required equipment. The quality of food provision will be critical and indeed your organisation must be flexible enough to source bakery, meat, fruit and vegetables and dairy products through local suppliers based no more than 25 miles from the School. It is expected that menus will feature and utilise products in season. The successful Supplier will work closely with the Client to manage the provision of catering and the overall ‘meal experience.
