We want every child or parent to be able to choose, and be provided with, their preferred meal. We also want every child to enjoy their meal in a well prepared and safe dining environment. We understand the schools have a responsibility to promote and encourage healthy eating and we require a caterer to work with our academies on developing this further. It is very important that the service delivers both value for money as well as high standards in procurement, production and customer care. The Staffordshire University Academies Trust is seeking to procure catering services on behalf of seven schools in the Staffordshire area.
