Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process entails the provision of school catering services at St Gabriel's RC Primary School in Rochdale, overseen by Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council. This contract, initially set to start on 1st September 2017 and potentially extending until 31st August 2020, is classified under the CPV code 55500000, which pertains to canteen and catering services. The tendering period ended on 10th May 2017, with the contract valued at £350,000. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing broad participation from interested suppliers.

This opportunity is particularly advantageous for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that excel in providing innovative catering solutions focused on quality and sustainability. Businesses that can offer diverse meal options to meet various dietary needs and preferences, and those able to engage with the school community — including parents and staff — will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The expectation to conduct taster sessions and attend regular meetings with the Parent-Teacher Association further adds an engaging element to the service delivery, making it a fruitful opportunity for growth in this sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of School Catering Services at St Gabriel's RC Primary School, Rochdale.

Notice Description

This is an Invitation to Tender for St Gabriel's RC Primary School' Catering Service from 1st September 2017 for 2 Years with the option to extend for a further year until 31st August 2020. The school, based in Rochdale, is seeking an organisation that can deliver fresh, exciting and continually evolving food offers. Tastes are varied and there is a requirement for an attractive selection of dishes, this dictated by personal taste as much as by religion or ethnic mix; equally there is a high awareness and an acute interest in the different type of foods available, how the raw products are sourced and of the overall approach to sustainability of the contractors. Bidders should include regular use of appropriate themes and events. Bidders will also need to show how they will attract staff members to use the service and look at how numbers in general using the service can be increased. We would expect providers to develop and produce taster sessions with new pupils and parents. We would expect providers to attend PTA, Governor and Parent meetings throughout the duration of the contract.
