The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1 April 2023 until 31 March 2026, with the option to extend for a further term excluding the right to further extend. The contract being offered and will be guaranteed performance in nature. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of all catering services within the school. The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, all service periods resulting in a new food service offer with consistent high standards of food offered at all times. Regular customer and parental engagement (using digital platforms and social media) will be required to ensure this is the case moving into the contract term. These new standards of operation should meet the needs of the pupils’ moving forwards into this contract term. The current range of foods needs to be expanded along with the service provision. It is one of the objectives of this tender that the successful contractor will utilise a truly local supply chain from the Birmingham area to source all fresh produce, namely being: Bakery Products Meat Fruit and Vegetables Dairy Products The contract at each school will operate on a guaranteed basis (return or subsidy) with all free school meals charged to the client monthly at net food cost only. All hospitality is to be charged on a net food cost basis. The successful contractor will be expected to put forwards both innovation and their proposals for making this contract more environmentally sensitive and carbon neutral moving into this contract term both by way of contract delivery, and also within the successful contractor’s organisation, thus working to deliver St Paul’s School for Girls environmental policies. Your approach to sustainability should mirror that of St Paul’s School for Girls. The terms and conditions of employment and recognition offered to the catering operatives should be both progressive and forward thinking ensuring that the staffing establishment is complete at all times and staff turnover is kept to a minimum. It is our objective to reduce this subsidy during this contract term by encouraging more of the pupils to use the school catering facilities. Any inward investment should be detailed within the tender submission and also what impact this will have on the school catering facilities. The current annual budgeted cost of the contract is £50,000.00 per annum inclusive of all subsidies and FSMs.
