Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Valley Invicta Academies Trust is currently inviting tenders for catering services across eight schools in the Maidstone and Malling areas of Kent, with a total contract value of GBP 648,000. This tender, titled "RM&C/2019/VIAT Prim/262", is classified under the 'School meals' category. The tender period will close on 3rd January 2020, with the contract set to commence on 1st August 2020 and run until 31st July 2025. The purchasing process follows a selective procurement method, indicating a restricted procedure where only pre-qualified suppliers will be invited to submit tenders. Businesses specialising in catering services, particularly those that can tailor solutions to meet diverse needs, will find this opportunity particularly promising. As each school has specific requirements and budget responsibilities, there is potential for tailored service offerings. Local suppliers are encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on community involvement and support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender suitable due to the scaling nature of services needed across the schools involved.

Notice Description

Valley Invicta Academies Trust (VIAT) is tendering the catering services across four secondary schools and four primary schools based in the Maidstone and Malling areas of Kent.
