Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by B4Schools Ltd, focuses on a framework for catering services to schools, titled "B4S Catering Framework for schools." This initiative falls under the school catering services category and is primarily located in the South East and London regions of the United Kingdom. The open procurement method involved a tender period that concluded on 30 August 2017, with an awarded contract value of £25 million, valid from 1 October 2017 to 30 September 2021. The contract is now in the award stage as of 13 September 2017, securing key suppliers for the framework.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative catering solutions tailored for educational institutions. Businesses specialising in sustainable food sourcing, bespoke meal planning, or nutritional education would be particularly well-suited to compete in this sector. With the contract aimed at providing essential services to schools over a four-year period, companies that align with the framework's objectives can establish valuable long-term relationships within the public sector.
