Lot Information

Lot 1

Founded in 1886, Kingham Hill is a small co-educational independent day and boarding school for children aged 11 - 18 set in 100 acres of beautiful grounds in the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. There is a tangible sense of friendliness and unity in Kingham Hill School where all pupils are known and nurtured. With just over 340 pupils, the school remains deliberately small, as this allows the school to sustain a caring, home-from-home community where every child is supported, challenged and inspired. The school provides an excellent education within top-class learning facilities where every pupil has endless opportunities to learn, excel and realise their potential. Kingham Hill prioritises individual development beyond the classroom to ensure pupils leave us as rounded young adults who will become happy and successful in their future lives. There is a five-day teaching week and once lessons have finished, there is time for sport and activities every afternoon, with day and boarding pupils integrating seamlessly across the range of school life. Last year, The Telegraph listed Kingham Hill as a 'Top Small Independent School' for highest A level results which is testament to the quality of teaching provision here at the school. Within the Good schools guide Kingham Hill is described as '...a supportive community of pupils and teachers treating each other with respect and kindness in this area of outstanding natural beauty. Kingham Hill has great strengths and it is the Headteacher's and Governors aim to build on these strengths by the employment of a suitably skilled and experienced catering contractor which operates within the independent sector who will be proactive in providing advice and expertise. The Contractor will have the opportunity to introduce an improved food offer whilst understanding the profile and usage of the existing facilities. They will also be expected to introduce an exciting new food concept for the future and vary this during the course of the academic year. Although cost is an important consideration, more important is the provision of a quality service, therefore the successful contractor must be able to demonstrate a track record of delivering a high-quality catering provision and support services within the independent sector, whilst ensuring that 'best value' is achieved by the school. Working with the local community is something that Kingham Hill strives to do at all times and to this end we would like to ensure that all your fresh produce is sourced from local suppliers (within a 40-mile radius of Kingham Hill). Please note that this is an important part of your tender response and the use of local suppliers will be closely monitored as will flexibility in your supply chain: It is also important that the service continues to evolve, so the successful contractor will need to demonstrate a high degree of innovation to ensure that this is achieved with a local management team that are proactive and dynamic in their approach and have the experience of delivering a quality catering provision within the challenges of budgetary constraint. We will expect the on-site catering team at the school to receive support and training commensurate with the standard and level of catering provision that the school expects as an output of this tender. Please see the SQ document for more information.
