Havering Sixth Form College wishes to offer a balanced and healthy menu to students which fully meets the requirements of the students and staff onsite, providing tasty and healthy menu options which are exciting and interesting. The menu should be based on the use of fresh ingredients and bakery products. Where possible the College would like to see ingredients sourced locally (within a 20 mile radius of the College) and sustainably. The College is also looking for a supplier who will work with students and leadership on the development of menus, actively seeking feedback and responding to it.

The new contract will commence on 1.8.2017, for an initial 3 year term with the option of an additional 2 x 1 year extensions.
