This procurement process, classified under school catering services (CPV code 55524000), is currently in the planning stage, with a tender response deadline set for 25 March 2020. The contract is set to commence on 1 August 2020 and will span three years with the possibility of two one-year extensions. Key activities include a select bidding process following a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and site surveys for shortlisted bidders in early April, with interviews scheduled for late May.
