II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Biddick Academy has decided to tender their catering services to investigate the financial and qualitative benefits they could be offered through this process.
Further specifics about the school are given later in the document under 'The School'.
The Contract Duration and Structure
The contract will be awarded for a three-year duration with the option of two additional, one-year extensions. This is subject to the satisfactory performance of the work. Their preferred arrangement is for a guaranteed return of nil subsidy catering service, which operates a special agreement for VAT, but the School are open to suggestions.
It is the intention of the School to appoint a single contractor in order to maximise the benefits for all parties.
The quality of the service and the proposed budget for the second year 2025 will be reviewed three months before the expiry of the first twelve months. The School at this time reserves the right to terminate the contract should either the quality or future costs be unacceptable.
The Proposed Contract is available as a separate attachment.
The financial structure of the contract is designed to reflect the Schools' aims to reward the Contractor in a fair manner and based upon contract delivery and to have an open-book agreement that is easily auditable.
