The schools expect the successful Supplier to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, prepared on-site. All schools intend to focus heavily on healthy, fresh, seasonal, locally sourced produce and see the catering service as an exciting opportunity to complement the overall uptake, student and parent experience, through the regular introduction of new ingredients, themed and promotional events. The successful Supplier will be required to play their part in acting as a catalyst for improvement of the pupil experience. The Senior Leadership Team and Trustees have identified 'value for money' as a priority to parents and this is perceived as key to encourage an increased uptake of the overall catering service provided.

The client requires the successful contractor to be extremely engaged in leveraging the catering service, to the benefit of pupils across the Trust and the local community alike, proactively supporting an active school calendar, with multiple promotions in any given month. A pupil centric ethos is required in practise, continuing the high level of pupil engagement that the Schools have previously developed.
