II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The tender project is seeking to appoint a supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of service within the existing facilities for the growing number of students (1,160 from September 2018 and rising by 30 students each year until September 2021) and 160 teaching and support staff, with a focus on exciting new food concepts to satisfy a wide range of student tastes and dietary requirements. The client will wish the successful supplier to review the current range of services offered, including Sixth Form provision, and make recommendations accordingly.
The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.9.2018 to 31.8.2021 and will operate as a guaranteed performance contract, with the successful supplier offering the client a guaranteed return/cost per annum for the provision of catering services. Sovereignty of the cash tariff is to remain with the client for the duration of this contract. The current cost of a 2-course main meal is 2,25 GBP and a cashless system is in operation (a Cunninghams biometric system).
The academic year is based on a calendar of 195 days. Up to 5 days are to be used for staff professional development which means that school will be open to receive students up to 190 days.
The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all school catering services, which currently includes breakfast, morning break, lunch, all hospitality and free school meal requirements. Free school meals and hospitality will be charged based on consumption and ideally at net food cost.
Whilst the client prioritises value for money as a key objective of the competitive tender process, the governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price.
The client expects the successful supplier to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared on-site. The client expects the successful Supplier to evidence, through their bid, how they shall support and complement its Catholic ethos, demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and support the principles of every child matters.
The client is continually seeking ways to improve and develop the environment for students and staff, to give them the facilities they deserve and meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Any consideration regarding inward capital investment as part of the supplier’s tender submission would be welcomed. The client would ask the supplier to make this investment within the existing kitchen and dining area, as well as adjoining outdoor spaces.
Please be advised that this contract will be awarded on a 3 + 2 years basis.
