In recent years, the school underwent a full new build, however, due to completion issues, the new building is not fit for purpose and is due to be rebuilt over the coming years. As such, the school facilities are currently housed within temporary mobile units, this includes the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen itself is fully equipped with all necessary facilities in order to deliver a full secondary food offer. The contract covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the School, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements. The School also acts as a production kitchen for two Primary Schools within the local area; Enmore C of E Primary School and St Josephs RC Primary School. It is anticipated that this service will continue into this new contract. The duration of the contract being offered is for an initial three-year period commencing on 01 January 2025, with the potential to extend for a further three 12-month periods. These extensions will be granted by mutual consent and on the same terms and conditions as the original contract without the right to further extend beyond the full six years. The contract being offered within this tender will be on a guaranteed performance basis, with an expected profit share of any betterment to the agreed budget. The School are seeking a suitably experienced, education catering contractor who is able to evidence working within Secondary Schools. An existing presence within the Southwest would be beneficial although not essential for organisations looking to expand into the region. The successful contractor will already have or need to develop a strong operational base within the vicinity, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when needed moving forwards into this contractual term. The services are currently outsourced and TUPE is expected to apply. It is possible that some of the current employees are members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and, in this instance, the successful contractor will be expected to gain Admitted Body Status (ABS) in order to continue contributing to the scheme. The School wishes to achieve as a result of this tender process: 1.The provision of a colourful, healthy and balanced food offer that will move away from a typically 'beige' counter. This should be inclusive of those with special dietary requirements. 2.An innovative and flexible menu that is in keeping with current food trends. Offering frequent themed menus and initiatives that support the curriculum and various school led activities, ensuring the food offer remains varied and enticing to its customers. 3.A more sustainable catering operation, moving away from a heavy use of disposables and single use plastics. 4.A suitable, effective marketing campaign in order to maximise on sales revenue, thus resulting in a cost efficient service. 5.A partnership with the successful contractor in order to develop the existing service, as well as the potential need for consultancy during the new building works to ensure the kitchen and equipment proposed by the building contractors is fit for purpose.
