Summary of the contracting process

Highbury Fields School is seeking to contract school catering services through a restricted procedure tender, with the process currently in the tender stage. Located at Highbury Hill, London, N5 1AR, the school’s procurement falls under the services category with a CPV classification of 55524000. Interested suppliers should note key dates: the tender period closes on 18th September 2024 at 13:00 GMT, and invitations for the second stage will be sent out on 11th October 2024. The new contract is slated to commence on 6th April 2025, and it covers catering for a total of 755 pupils, including a high percentage of free school meal recipients. The school operates a coeducational sixth form located at 34 Aberdeen Park, London, N5 2BL. Highbury Fields School’s contact person for this procedure is Jessica Gavin (+44 2072882136, jgavin@highburyfields.islington.sch.uk).

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for companies specialising in school catering services to enter or expand their presence in the education sector. With nearly half of the students eligible for free school meals, providers with experience in efficiently managing high-volume, cost-sensitive operations are likely to be competitive. SMEs offering innovative and healthy meal options that comply with nutrition standards could thrive in this environment. As the contract provides the possibility of renewal after three years based on satisfactory performance, it also offers potential for long-term business growth and stability.
