II.2.4) Description of procurement: You have the option to bid for some or all Lots but you must specify which Lots you would like to bid.
The contract covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the schools, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements.

The duration of the contract being offered is for an initial three-year period commencing on 1 August 2021 for Stithians CP School, Treleigh CP School and Bishop Cornish CofE VA Primary School and 1 September 2022 for Penryn College and The Federation of Boscastle & Port Isaac Schools. Each Lot will conclude after 36 months from the commencement date, with the potential to extend for a further two 12-month periods. This extension will be granted by mutual consent and on the same terms and conditions as the original contract without the right to further extend beyond the full five years.

The contract being offered within this tender will be on a guaranteed performance basis.

The Cluster is seeking a suitably experienced contractor who is able to evidence working with multiple Schools with varying requirements. The successful contractor will already have or need to develop a strong operational base within Cornwall, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when needed moving forwards into this contract term.

The services are currently outsourced and TUPE is expected to apply. It is anticipated that a number of employees are members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and therefore the successful contractor will be expected to gain Admitted Body Status (ABS) in order to continue contributing to the scheme.

Within all schools, the Cluster wishes to offer good wholesome healthy eating options within the menus which should be based on the use of fresh ingredients and bakery products sourced through a local supply chain.

Port Isaac CP School currently receives a delivered service from a School outside of this tender process and therefore the successful contractor will be required to successfully mobilise this service from a suitably local and logistical production kitchen. Furthermore, while there is a functional kitchen onsite at Boscastle CP School, the Federation would like to further the possibility of introducing a delivered service to this School, also. This would aid with cost saving and the need to refurbish the kitchen. Part of the Invitation To Tender (ITT), will offer the ability to understand your proposals or viability to provide a delivered service to the Federation.

The Cluster also wises to achieve as a result of this tender process;

1.Experienced and insightful contract management to promote good levels of communication and engagement with each School, as well as the students and parents to promote the uptake of meals.

2.Well-trained catering teams at each school, with a focus by the successful contractor on both craft training and customer service.

3.The provision of a healthy balanced menu that meets nutritional guidelines and is enjoyed by all users of the service.

4.An effective marketing campaign that is suitable and appropriate for each school that should be promoted effectively to both pupils and parents alike.

5.There needs to be total transparency with accounts that are clear and easy to understand.

6.Due to the ongoing supply issues, use of the abundant, local supply chain within Cornwall is imperative.

7.To achieve overall value for money is an objective of this tender – However please note that the Cluster is not obliged to accept the lowest price and the contract award will be in line with the marking matrix published within the tender specification where an overall focus will be given to food quality and innovation of the catering offer as well the management support.
