The old infant school is now referred as the Lower School and the Junior the Upper School . Further details can be found on the school's website: https://www.sparrowfarm.hounslow.sch.uk/ Basis of Contract The catering is currently operated in-house where the main food production is conducted at Lower school and transported to the Upper School. Whilst the space is limited at the Upper School the intention is to appoint a catering supplier that will be able to advise on the design and build of a dedicated kitchen facility so as to reduce the need for transportation; allowing for fresh food to be produced and ultimately increase meal uptake at the Upper School. As such, the school is embarking on this tender process with the intention of appointing an experienced Supplier to deliver full catering services. The contract is estimated to commence on Monday 31st October 2022 and will be for an initial period of 3 years plus an option to extend by 2 years up to a maximum of 5 years in duration. The turnover based on the introduction of the new kitchen at the Upper School is estimated to be circa PS400,000+(over 3 years for the initial period). Objectives The appointed Supplier will have proven experience of delivering quality catering services within primary and nursery schools and should have suitable experience and expertise of successfully increasing pupil meal uptake. With an established record in successfully managing the TUPE process, the Supplier will also be required to apply for an admission agreement (ABS) in order to manage the LGPS associated with 3 members of the in-house team. Furthermore, the Supplier should ideally have a strong operational base in the local area together with a compelling attitude towards making the lunchtime service appealing, healthy, nutritious and educational for children. Ultimately, it is important that the Supplier can demonstrate an ability to manage an efficient catering service through the application of effective staff training, management and quality controls that delivers continual 'best value' to the school.
