Objectives

The appointed Supplier will have significant experience of delivering quality catering services within Primary schools and should have proven expertise of successfully increasing pupil meal uptake across group contracts together with a compelling attitude towards making the lunchtime service appealing, healthy and educational for children.

Coupled with the familiarity and practice of successfully managing a large workforce, the Supplier should ideally have a strong operational base in London and able to leverage sufficient resources to ensure the required level of service is constantly maintained. Within the Consortium there a small number of ‘Special Educational Needs and Disability Schools’ which require a more tailored menu offer together with a number of schools without kitchens (Dining Centres) that have their meals produced from a nominated school (Production Kitchens) within The Consortium. It will be imperative that bidders are able to provide these services and can provide the necessary transportation of meals either direct or via a third party between the nominated Production Kitchens and associated Dining Centres.

Ultimately, it is important that the Supplier can demonstrate a proven ability to manage a well-organised and efficient catering service that continual strives to offer ‘best value’ to each participating school.
