Skanska Rashleigh Weatherfoil, Facilities Services - Tender for Catering Services

Notice Description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for Skanska Rashleigh Weatherfoil, Facilities Services (SRW FS). The Client is a Private Funded Initiative (PFI) which currently includes the following Bristol school properties, where the successful Supplier will be required to deliver a catering service and meet the requirements of the specification from the contract commencement. The schools within the initial scope of the tender are: - Bristol Brunel Academy - secondary school, - Bristol Metropolitan Academy - secondary school (includes Briarwood SEN centre), - Oasis Academy Brislington - secondary school (includes unit for pupils with additional ASD needs), - Bridge Learning Campus - all-through school (includes primary and nursery age pupils). Total 3887 pupils as at January 2018. The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 22.12.2018 until 31.12.2021, with the option to extend for a further term of up to 2 years, and will be guaranteed price in nature, with the Supplier invoicing the client for 1-12th of the annual cost on a monthly basis. There shall be a service on each of the 190 full academic days and by agreement for the 5 inset days. The Client is currently not considering growing the number of schools during the contract period. However, should this change and the provision of catering services are required in additional schools the scope and terms of this contract would also apply. If applicable the successful Supplier will be expected to provide this service within these schools using the same costing model, ratios etc that they applied to their successful tender submission for the Client at the point of tender submission. The duration of contract for these schools will not be increased and they will join the contract for the remaining contract period that exists at the point of entry into the PFI. The successful Supplier is expected to have a good local operational presence, as specialist caterers in the secondary school sector. The contract covers the scope for the provision of school catering services, which currently includes breakfast, morning break, lunch, all hospitality and free issue requirements. Free School Meals and hospitality will be charged at cost, based on consumption. The Client expects the successful Supplier to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, prepared on-site. Food for Life Silver standard catering provision is required from the start of the contract and throughout. The schools' governing bodies intend to focus heavily on healthy, fresh, seasonal, locally sourced produce and see the catering service as an exciting opportunity to complement the overall student and community experience, through the regular introduction of new ingredients, themed and promotional events. Information in respect of each school and further details are provided in the SQ Document.
