Summary of the contracting process

St Anne’s Catholic Primary School is seeking a school meals catering provider for pupils, staff and visitors. The requirement covers the delivery of safe, compliant and high-quality catering, with meals meeting relevant food safety and nutritional standards. The service should provide good value and improve the health, wellbeing and dining experience of those using it. The work will be delivered at St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, 6 Durham Street, London, England, SE11 5JA. The procurement is categorised as school meals (CPV 15894210) and is presented as a goods requirement, although the substance of the opportunity is an ongoing managed catering service. The school also expects the provider to support its wider sustainability objectives through responsible sourcing, waste reduction and sound environmental management practices.

The process reached the tender stage: the school invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 19 October 2026 at 10:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. Its stated total value is £150,000. The tender is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation will consider the provider’s ability to deliver a safe, compliant and high-quality service, meet food safety and nutritional standards, provide value for money, support pupil, staff and visitor wellbeing, and contribute to sustainability through responsible sourcing, waste reduction and environmental management.

This opportunity suits catering businesses experienced in school meals or comparable institutional food services, particularly those able to manage a reliable service for pupils, staff and visitors. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate robust food safety controls, compliance with applicable nutritional standards and consistent quality across day-to-day delivery. The requirement also favours providers with practical sustainability systems: responsible procurement and sourcing, waste prevention and reduction, and effective environmental management. Suppliers should be able to show how their service will support health, wellbeing and a positive dining experience, while maintaining value for money. The school has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable, so the opportunity may fit an established specialist caterer with the operational capacity and relevant experience to deliver a multi-year school contract.
