Basis of Contract The Trust is currently seeking a catering contractor with ample experience to provide catering services at Sir William Borlase's Grammar School. The contractor will need to be highly creative and innovative, and able to introduce new food concepts that cater to the diverse range of pupil tastes and dietary requirements. As the school places a strong emphasis on extracurricular activities, it is essential that the chosen contractor has extensive knowledge and expertise in providing healthy food options which are fresh, seasonal and locally sourced and prepared at the school. This includes being well-versed in nutritional standards and requirements and ensuring that the menus are designed to fuel pupils throughout the day. Additionally, the contractor will be expected to conduct a comprehensive review of the current catering services and provide recommendations on how to enhance the existing offerings. The main aim of this exercise is to deliver a superior catering experience that aligns with the school's vision and values.

This should apply to both the contract delivery and the contractor's organization, following the environmental policies of Sir William Borlase's Grammar School. The contractor's approach to sustainability must align with that of the school. The contract being tendered is from 1st January 2025 until 31st December 2028 for an initial 3-year period with an option to extend for a further 2 years at the discretion of the client.
