Summary of the contracting process

The School Catering Contract, initiated by Sheffield City Council, pertains to the provision of canteen and catering services for schools within the Sheffield area. This procurement process, classified under the services category, employed a selective procurement method known as a restricted procedure. The award process has been completed, with the contract awarded to Taylor Shaw Ltd for a total value of £34 million, signed on 19 May 2021. The tender aimed to enhance quality and social value in school meal provision, reflecting the local economic impact, although it did not attract any bids from SMEs or foreign companies.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in large-scale catering services, food supply, or social enterprise, to engage with local authorities and support community services. Companies that focus on quality service delivery, understand the importance of social value in procurement, and can demonstrate a commitment to local economic impacts will be well-positioned to compete in future tenders with similar criteria. The scale of this contract indicates a strong potential for sustained growth and partnership with regional authorities in the food service sector.
