Ensure Consistency and Quality across all 10 schools, from menu planning to service delivery and reporting, while accommodating each school’s unique character and location.
The Trust would wish the successful contractor to review the current range of services offered and make recommendations accordingly.
The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from August 2026 to July 2029 with the options of a 2-year extension and will operate as a Guaranteed Performance Contract, with the successful Contractor offering the Trust and its schools a guaranteed return / cost per annum for the provision of catering services.
