Notice Title
Colton Hills Community School -- Tender for Catering Services.
Notice Description
The successful tenderer will be required to provide catering services at Colton Hills Community School. Full details in relation to Colton Hills Community School can be found at: http://coltonhills.co.uk/ The latest Ofsted report finding may be viewed at: http://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/ELS/104395 The catering service provision at Colton Hills Community School has not been market tested in the last 4 years and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Head Teacher and School Governors have made a decision to tender the catering service. Previous to the incumbent contractor the catering service provision was managed by Wolverhampton DSO. Therefore, the successful contractor needs to offer an Admitted Body Status pension arrangement to those staff that were employed by the Council and transferred over to the incumbent contractor on contract award. Current roll numbers are circa 950 students including 150 Sixth Formers. In addition to this there are 100 teaching and support staff. Please note that this is a multi-cultural school and this should be considered when reviewing and considering the food offer. Current turnover figures are circa 140 000 GBP - 150 000 GBP per annum including Free School meals. Current uptake levels are above 65 % and the School firmly believes that with improved choice and quality there is a real opportunity to increase this level of uptake. The successful contractor will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month, thus updating the senior management team within the School on contract performance. It is imperative that an open book policy is offered to ensure the School has total clarity on financial performance. We are seeking both innovation and the application of current food trends within the tender submissions and would expect as a result of this to be able to identify 'best value' and work in partnership with the chosen contractor going forward. The contract will be for 3 years with the option of a 2 year extension depending on the level of service delivered during the initial 3 year term. Further information is available within the PQQ documentation. Additional information: Interest in the pre-qualification process should be expressed via email only to pqq@litmuspartnership.co.uk clearly stating within this email which contract / notice you are referring to. Please also provide, as a minimum, a contact name, full company postal address and telephone number. The pre-qualification questionnaire and associated documents can be obtained at: http://www.litmuspartnership.co.uk/project/colton_hills_community_school The closing date for receipt of the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire is 7.10.2016 (12:00). Tenderers are required to ensure that documents are obtained and returned to The Litmus Partnership Limited, by email to pqq@litmuspartnership.co.uk by the above closing date and time. Documents in respect of economic / financial standing (where indicated in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire) shall be returned to The Litmus Partnership Limited, by email to pqq@litmuspartnership.co.uk by the above closing date and time. It will be the Tenderer's responsibility to obtain any necessary documents in order to submit a response by the closing date and time. The contracting authority reserves the right not to award any or part of the contract which is the subject of this OJEU notice and reserves the right to terminate the procurement process at any time. The contracting authority will not be liable for any costs incurred by those expressing an interest in tendering for this contract opportunity. The contracting authority will consider variant bids, evaluating them (so far as the variant or the evaluation of the variant is in the opinion of the contracting authority practicable) on the same basis as a conforming bid, but shall not be obliged to accept any such bid in preference to a conforming bid even if the variant bid scores more highly. No variant will be considered unless the bidder simultaneously submits a conforming bid.
