      Main site or place of performance:
      Cornwall and Isles of Scilly
             

      II.2.4) Description of the procurement: 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 01 September 2024, 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, with an expected profit share of any betterment to the agreed budget.
Please note, as a Lotted tender, each Lot has the option to award their contract individually. However, it is the intention of the Cluster to maximise on economies of scale gained by a collaborative procurement venture and awarding to a single contractor, or minimal contractors.
The Cluster is seeking a suitably experienced, education catering contractor who is able to evidence working with multiple Schools with varying requirements and Multi Academy Trust. Furthermore, it will be beneficial that the successful contractor has experience (and suitable capacity) to mobile multiple Schools successfully, in a short period of time. As a result, 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.
