These details will be further explained in the ITT documents. The process will include the creation of a select bidder list following analysis of SQ documents (within which the scoring criteria is included). The nature of the contract demands a good local infrastructure to provide and maintain the level and standard of catering service and support required by the schools. Labour resource/relief cover is very important. We have set a minimum level of turnover for this tender at 250,000 GBP which takes into account the contract turnover and cash flow associations. This is a discretionary pass/fail question on the basis that we will consider any additional guarantees and formal assurances such as parent company guarantors or similar which must be included to support any submission. We have set a minimum Employer's (compulsory) liability insurance of 10,000,000 GBP. Following the analysis of SQ's the selected bidders will be invited to attend a site survey and tender briefing initially planned for March 2024. Tender responses deadline is planned for April 2024 and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in late May 2024. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period (5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).
Renewal: Option of up to two further annual extensions meaning a 5 year period in total with options.
