Summary of the contracting process

The Scholars' Education Trust is currently in the tender stage for the "Scholars' Education Trust Catering Tender," aimed at procuring school catering services across four of its schools located in Hertfordshire, England. Key dates include a tender deadline on 7 December 2021 and an invitation date for the second stage on 17 December 2021. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure, and suppliers interested in this opportunity should ensure their electronic submissions are timely and compliant with the specified guidelines.

This contract presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in school catering services, particularly those with capabilities in managing multiple locations and high volumes. Companies that are already engaged in educational services or have prior experience in catering for academic institutions in the UK would be especially well-suited to compete. With four distinct schools under the Scholars' Education Trust umbrella, successful bidders are likely to establish a long-term partnership, potentially extending beyond the initial three-year contract with the option for further renewal.
