Notice Information

Notice Title

Turner Schools - Catering Tender

Notice Description

Turner Schools is a growing MAT with five schools based in Folkestone, Kent all within a two mile radius of each other. The Trust provides education from nursery through to sixth form and currently has two secondary schools and three primary schools. The Trust is inviting tenders to serve all schools within the Trust with a full daily catering provision. This will consist of breakfast, break, lunch and after-school meals. We are looking for a provision where focus is on high quality ingredients and taste to increase pupil meal take up. One of our secondary schools provides a family dining experience which needs to be maintained and possibly rolled out to our primary schools. The provision is currently outsourced, therefore not all catering staff are in the Local Government Pension Scheme. TUPE is expected to apply. A full tender document can be supplied on request by emailing your interest to tender@turnerschools.com.
