Objectives
The appointed supplier will have significant experience of delivering quality catering services within primary schools and should have proven expertise of successfully increasing pupil meal uptake, together with a compelling attitude towards making the lunchtime service appealing, healthy and educational for children.
Coupled with the familiarity and practice of successfully managing the TUPE process for a large workforce, the supplier should ideally have a strong operational base in London and able to leverage sufficient resources to ensure the required level of service is constantly maintained. There are number of Dining Centres within LSC which are schools without kitchens. These schools have their meals produced from a nominated production kitchen from within LSC which are schools with large kitchens. It will be imperative that bidders are able to provide either direct or via a third party the transportation of meals between the nominated production kitchens and associated Dining Centres.
Ultimately, it is important that the supplier can demonstrate a proven ability to manage a well-organised and efficient catering service through the application of effective staff training, best practice and quality control that ensures continual ‘best value’ to each participating school.
