Summary of the contracting process

The Clarion Corvus Trust has recently awarded a contract for the provision of full daily catering services at its schools. Edwards & Blake, a large catering company, has been selected as the supplier for this contract. The contract, initially valued at £1,146,067, is part of the Trust’s ongoing effort to outsource catering services for their 738 pupils, with specific attention given to breakfast services at Watton Westfield Infant and Nursery School and lunch services across all sites. The procurement process took place under a Restricted procedure, incorporating a standstill period to allow for any challenges to the award decision. The contract was signed on 16th July 2024, with services set to cover the East of England region (UKH15).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the school catering and food service industry to grow by providing essential services to a large educational trust. Catering companies, especially those experienced in handling school meal programmes and compliant with TUPE regulations, would be well-suited to this procurement. The contract also offers potential for business continuity and growth, given the initial three-year term with the possibility of two 12-month extensions, allowing for a maximum duration of five years. The tender’s selective process also suggests an emphasis on quality and price, encouraging competitive yet high-standard service offerings.
