Description:

The successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering Services for Cleeve School & Sixth Form Centre of Excellence.
Cleeve School offers consistently outstanding teaching and an innovative and highly personalised curriculum, where literacy and numeracy skills are secured as firm bedrocks. We aspire to be exceptional on everything we do, and we achieve this by collaborating, both in terms of teams within the School and in terms of organisations and ‘best practice’ elsewhere.
The School provides a safe and stimulating environment, where mutual respect threads through the celebrated ethos of care, support and guidance. In preparing students for the world beyond school, we firmly believe in high standards of dress and attitude, so that good manners, tolerance and understanding underpin everything we do. Tradition is important ~ and we hold on to our traditions and high expectations, whilst also thoroughly embracing innovation and a 21st century approach to learning.
The School has a well-defined vision for the period of this catering contract: ‘Our Students and staff see our catering as first rate and as a key part of the day’s offer’ https://www.cleeveschool.net/2030-vision-and-strategy/
There are currently 1894 pupils and 210 staff, this number has increased in recent years due to housing developments in the local area. In recent years the School has made significant investments to increase the size of the well-equipped kitchen and upgrade dining room furniture. A second satellite Bistro kitchen and indoor dining area has been developed; there is one outdoor pod. The Sixth Form Centre of Excellence also have their own dedicated and separate satellite kitchen and indoor seating areas.
The catering contract being offered will commence on 1 August 2027 for an initial period of three years, concluding on 31 July 2030, and will be offered on a guaranteed performance basis, with a service on each of the 190 full academic days and by agreement for the 5 inset days. Annual spend is circa £520K.
