Summary of the contracting process

Medway Commercial Group Limited is seeking qualified contractors for the "Framework for the Provision of School Catering Services", aimed at providing comprehensive catering solutions for schools in and around the Medway area. The procurement is currently in the award stage, as contracts are to be finalised through a call-off process which will run from August 1, 2019, to July 31, 2023. The deadline for submitting tenders was March 22, 2019, and the project falls under the school catering services industry category throughout the regions of Medway, Kent, and Bexley.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth for businesses involved in catering, particularly those with experience in educational environments and a commitment to promoting healthy eating initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the framework allows for competition through a mini competition process among contractors for individual contracts. Successful participation in this framework could enhance a company's portfolio and lead to long-term partnerships with educational institutions.

Notice Title

Framework for the Provision of School Catering Services

Notice Description

Medway Commercial Group Limited on behalf of schools in and around the Medway area is seeking applications from suitably qualified and interested contractors to be included on a framework for the provision of a full catering service for schools. We are looking for providers who can offer a full and efficient catering service for schools supporting them in developing a 'Whole school approach to healthy eating'. The Contracting Authority will award contracts via a call off process for the provision of single sites, multi academy trusts (MAT) or small groups of schools to a framework member via a mini competition process. The proposed framework will be awarded for an initial period of three years and will have the option to extend for a further year. This Framework Agreement allows a contracting authority to call off the provision of services by placing an order with the contractor, which shall form a separate service contract. This framework covers all schools within Medway, Kent, Bexley and the Kent County where it is logistically possible. Interested providers are asked to familiarise themselves with the attached documentation and return any completed responses to procurement@mcgsolutions.co.uk.
