Summary of the contracting process

Thornleigh Salesian College is seeking to procure catering services through a selective tendering process, scheduled to commence in September 2022. This tender, classified under the CPV codes for school catering services, is currently active and aims to establish a contract for a total duration of five years, with a possible extension. Key dates include a tender response deadline set for late April 2022, a site survey and tender briefing planned for mid-March 2022, and envisaged interviews in May 2022. Situated in Bolton, UK, the college is particularly focused on receiving proposals that demonstrate flexibility and best value in service delivery.

This procurement presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in catering services, especially those with an established local infrastructure capable of supporting the college's needs. Companies with significant turnover—at least £250,000—and adequate resources to ensure high-quality service delivery are particularly encouraged to participate. The selective process will create a shortlist of candidates, inviting at least five to engage further, enhancing chances for those firms that can showcase strong financial backing and a proven track record in similar contracts to thrive in this competitive tendering environment.
