Lot Information
Lot 1
The duration of the contract being offered is three years commencing on 1 September 2023 to August 2026, with the potential for an extension of up to a further three years excluding the right to further extend beyond this point. The contract will be on a guaranteed performance basis with all free issues and hospitality being recharged to the school at net cost only. St Edward's College In the late 1970s reverted to full independence, with many pupils receiving support under the Assisted Places Scheme. However, the 1993 Education Act enabled the College to become a self-governing Maintained School. After a lengthy consultation and statutory process, St Edward's College became a Grant Maintained School on 1 September 1997. As a result of the abolition of Grant Maintained Status by the 1998 Education Act, the College became a Voluntary Aided School in 1999. The College became an Academy in May 2011. For further information regarding St Edward's College please refer to the school website www.st-edwards.co.uk St Edward's College has great strengths and it is the Principal'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/state 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. The catering provision within St Edward's College is of vital importance and 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/state sector, whilst ensuring that 'best value' is achieved by the school in both financial and qualitative terms. Working with the local community is something that St Edward's College 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. 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 both 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 . A selection of healthy balanced dishes are available daily on the restaurant counters for all customers. The current selling price per meal at lunch time is PS3.00 and further cash sales are generated through the provision of a breakfast which sells for PS1.00 and a mid- morning break service. Additionally, there is a separate catering facility within the sixth form centre which is open during the course of the day. Cash sales are collected currently via Parent Pay which is administered by the catering team in conjunction with a cashless system. It is expected that the successful contractor will work very closely with the Client and engage with the school curriculum, pupils and parents moving forwards into this contract term. The contract currently offers a guaranteed return to St Edward's College for the main account, with all free issues and hospitality being recharged at net cost to the school based on consumption.
