Abstract

The catering contract being offered will commence on 1.8.2019 for an initial period of 3 years concluding on 31.7.2022, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of 2 years at the discretion of the governing body, and will be offered on a guaranteed performance basis.

The successful supplier will be required to provide all catering and hospitality services at both Cantley Lane (DN3 3QF) and Acacia Road (DN4 6NU) sites, which are located 0,5 miles apart and the sixth form for The McAuley Catholic High School.

The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all school catering services, which currently includes breakfast club, morning break, lunch, all hospitality and free issue requirements. Free school meals and hospitality will be charged based on consumption and at net food cost.

Whilst the client’s objective of value for money is a priority, innovation and continued improvement of the current catering service throughout the contract term will be pivotal to the success of the new contract. The client is looking for a supplier who will continue to evaluate standards, process and procedures to reflect the high levels of achievement within the school.

In support of the client’s high expectations of the catering service, suppliers are required to ensure that The Living Wage is factored into their proposals for all catering employees and that a proactive approach is taken to catering staff training.

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 such as bakery products being prepared on-site. Food for life silver accreditation reflects the minimum standard of catering required.

The client invites suppliers to consider offers of capital investment, to assist in further upgrading and harmonising the current facilities across both sites. The introduction of outside ‘food outlets’ and an NRS cashless catering system have previously been completed. Additional improvements that are now being considered for both sites include the upgrade of dining tables and chairs. This investment should also consider the improvement of current hot and cold food and drink presentation equipment.
