Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the catering services at Chenderit School is an exciting opportunity for businesses in the school catering industry. Located in Oxfordshire, in the South East of the United Kingdom, Chenderit School is seeking a supplier through a selective procurement method involving a restricted procedure. The procurement falls under the CPV classification "School catering services," and the tender process has reached the award stage. The contract, awarded to Culinera Limited, has a value of £1,393,274.32, with a service contract period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2029. Although the tender period concluded on 21 November 2024, these details are vital for understanding the scope and nature of the opportunity.

The awarded contract presents substantial business growth potential, particularly for SMEs capable of enhancing catering service environments while promoting health and wellbeing among school pupils and staff. With annual catering sales already around £250k, there is significant upside potential for increased revenue. Businesses keen on these opportunities and possessing the necessary attributes to innovate in the school catering sector should consider future engagements with public contracts like this, ensuring they are prepared for similar restricted procedures. SMEs like Culinera Limited have shown that they can compete effectively, particularly when focused on quality service delivery aligned with educational institutions' goals.
