Notice Title

Light Hall School - Tender for Catering Services

Notice Description

Light Hall School is an 11-16 mixed academy of 1 180 students on roll and 250 students admitted each year. The school aim is that every student leaves School, not only having achieved their full potential academically, but with a lifelong love of learning, a sound moral compass and high aspirations and expectations of themselves. Care and respect for others and the environment are the given norm at Light Hall and there is an expectation that everyone will participate actively and positively in the life of the learning community. The numerous opportunities and experiences on offer, aim to equip every student with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to become valued and successful members of society. The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.8.2019 until 31.7.2022, with the option to extend the contract term for a further term of up to 2 years and will operate as a guaranteed performance contract, with the successful supplier offering the client a guaranteed return per annum for the provision of catering services. Sovereignty of the cash tariff is to remain with the Client for the duration of this contract. The academic year is based on a calendar of 195 days. 5 days are to be used for staff professional development which means that school will be open to receive students for the legal minimum of 190 days. Whilst the client prioritises value for money as a key objective of the competitive tender process, the governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price. 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 for the 1 180 students on roll and for the 147 teaching and support staff, all of whom have a focus on the introduction of exciting new food concepts to satisfy a wide range of 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 offered covers the scope for the provision of all school catering services, which currently includes morning break, lunch, all hospitality and free issue requirements. Free school meals and hospitality will be charged based on consumption and at net food cost. Breakfast service is not currently provided, but we would wish for the supplier to consider the introduction of this service and submit financial information accordingly. The client expects the successful supplier to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared on-site. The client expects the successful Supplier to evidence, through their bid, how they shall support and complement its values and support the principles of Keeping Children Safe in Education.
