Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process managed by Langley School, acting as the buying organisation, has recently reached the award stage for the "Collaborative Education Trust ~ Catering Tender." This procurement was specific to school catering services within the education industry, taking place in the Solihull area, West Midlands, UK. The competitive procurement method employed was a selective restricted procedure. The tender period concluded on 23rd June 2025, and the contract will span from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2030, focusing on four education institutions comprising one secondary and three primary schools. The contract, valued at £3,021,823, was awarded to MiQuill Catering Ltd, a large-scale catering provider, as of 23rd June 2025.

This catering tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises experienced in providing large-scale school catering services. The contract's multi-year duration allows for strategic planning and revenue stability, making it attractive for well-established suppliers. Although the procurement process, now completed, might primarily appeal to well-resourced large-scale providers given the contract's complexity and scope, it also underscores a substantial opportunity for SMEs with experience in the education sector to prepare for similar future tenders, aligning their capabilities to meet the competitive requirements of selective procurement methods.
