                "description": "The opportunity arises with an accelerated timetable, due to the decision of the incumbent caterer to relinquish the contract to concentrate on its primary school estate. The Client would like to see innovative delivery of emerging food trends that are seen on the high-street and in supermarkets that pupils frequent and therefore need to be reflective in the school dining environment. There is a need to maximise sales and this can be achieved by offering a dynamic and bespoke food offering at breakfast, morning break and lunchtime. The key areas of focus for the successful service provider will include; Fresh and innovative menus that are nutritionally balanced and appealing; -The best use of local seasonal produce; -Efficient and consistent speed of service with great customer interaction; -Sustainable solutions for food packaging; -Catering staff integration with the School community and support with Curriculum activities. -Identifying and potential funding of an additional sixth form cafe offer The Client expects the successful Supplier to evidence, through their bid, how they will deliver these focus areas. The existing team have resilience and consistency in day to day production, but in order to produce the innovative and dynamic food offer required they will need to be supported by an operational team that can demonstrate and upskill service and meet expectation. Aside from the food, the environment in which the pupils engage with the catering offer is adequate but lacks some definition, so the catering partners will need to consider what the requirements are to drive the whole pupil experience in the dining hall. With a contract start date of 1st January 2025, the Supplier will need to consider how they will manage the mobilisation and launch the service in what will be a tight timetable. This contract will run for three years with the opportunity to extend for a further two, twelve-month periods. . The Client is seeking a catering service partner that has the ability and appetite to work flexibly and with complete transparency to deliver an exceptional standard of service and take on the development of a loyal and dedicated team. The catering tender presents an exciting time for the School and the Client is looking forward to developing a successful partnership with a new service provider.",
