This cost will be paid in full to the client upon contract award and recovered by the successful contractor via charging this in as part of the contract, over the lifetime of the contract.

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 with a focus on exciting new food concepts to satisfy a wide range of pupil tastes and dietary requirements. The Client would wish the successful Supplier to review the current range of services offered and make recommendations accordingly.

The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1.8.2018 to 31.7.2021 and will be a 3 + 2 years contract. The contract 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 individual schools, for the duration of this contract.
