There is an option for a further extension period for up to two additional years to 31st December 2031.\nThe contract offers an excellent opportunity to review and propose enhancements to the current catering services at the School. This includes but is not limited to: breakfast, morning break, lunchtime and after-school services, over the academic year, plus hospitality services upon request.\nThe school is keen to secure a high-quality catering service, including fresh, healthy, locally sourced ingredients prepared on site, with a menu design that is varied and flexible to suit the requirements of the school’s specific students. The school is proud of its ‘family ethos’ and expects both a tightly managed service and a management style delivered by the successful contractor that supports, encourages and develops the catering staff.\nThe school requires the contractor to maintain a model health and safety culture, demonstrating a commitment to rigorous compliance and a proven ability to address any emerging concerns with immediate, proactive responses.\nThe school is not obliged to accept the lowest price submitted for this tender; the school is keen to secure ‘best value’ from this contract and to deliver ‘best value’ to its students. Innovative and creative ideas as to how the services can be developed and value added will be welcomed. The school seeks a contractor that is keen to work in partnership and who will deliver to its highest abilities, at all times. \nCompetitive Flexible Procedure \nThis procurement will be run under the Competitive Flexible Procedure.
