II.2.4) Description of the procurement: In September 2014, Holy Trinity became a Free School. A Free School in England is an independent, state-funded school which is free to attend but which is not controlled by the Local Authority. The school is governed by the Holy Trinity Academy Trust, a non-profit charitable trust that signed a funding agreement with the Secretary of State. The school has a wide range of facilities, which help to support a broad and balanced curriculum, shared by both primary and secondary pupils. Being housed on one site ensures continuity of education and eases transition from primary to secondary education and transition through to Sixth Form. Holy Trinity is unique because it has the following features: •An all-age co-educational school, on the same site. Children who enter at age 4 will be able to continue, if they and their parents wish, until their school education ends at age 18. •Separate but cohesive primary, secondary and sixth form sections. The contract covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the School, including hospitality and free issue requirements. There are currently circa 756 pupils, including 35 in Sixth form and currently 152 pupils are eligible for UiFSM and 129 for Free School Meals. There is indoor seating in the main dining area, with an ancillary outdoor area for around 50 pupils in our quadrant. The contract will commence on 1 August 2024 for an initial period of three years, ending on 31 July 2027, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of 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 £2.60, with Free School Meals charged on consumption at margin. Hospitality and free issues are also recharged on consumption but 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 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. Please see SQ document for more information.
