Notice Title

St Paul's School for Girls School ~ Tender for Catering Services.

Notice Description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for St Paul's School for Girls. The contract covers the scope for the provision of all school catering services, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements. The current contract generates a small subsidy that the Client funds and all free school meals and hospitality are recharged at net food cost. It is our objective to reduce this subsidy during this contract term by encouraging more of the pupils to use the school catering facilities. The duration of the contract being offered is three years commencing on 1.2.2018 and concluding on 31.1.2021, with the potential for an extension of up to a further 3 years, and will be on a guaranteed performance basis. It is expected that the successful Supplier will work very closely with the Client and engage with the school curriculum moving forwards into this contract term. The Client wishes for the successful Supplier to be able to offer innovation and to make some changes to the service provision within the school during the course of the new contract term. This will include ideas on how the catering service can be more accessible to all students especially within the sixth form. Any inward investment should be detailed within the tender submission and also what impact this will have on the school catering facilities. The current annual cost of the contract is 48 000 GBP per annum inclusive of all subsidies and FSMs. Additional information: Interest in the selection process should be expressed via email only to pqq@litmuspartnership.co.uk clearly stating within this email which contract / notice you are referring to. Please also provide, as a minimum, a contact name, full company postal address and telephone number.

Suppliers are required to ensure that documents are obtained and returned to The Litmus Partnership Limited, by email to pqq@litmuspartnership.co.uk by the above closing date and time. Documents in respect of economic / financial standing (where indicated in the Selection Questionnaire) shall be returned to The Litmus Partnership Limited, by email to pqq@litmuspartnership.co.uk by the above closing date and time. It will be the Supplier's responsibility to obtain any necessary documents in order to submit a response by the closing date and time. The contracting authority reserves the right not to award any or part of the contract which is the subject of this Contract Notice and reserves the right to terminate the procurement process at any time. The contracting authority will not be liable for any costs incurred by those expressing an interest in tendering for this contract opportunity.
