Lot Information
Lot 1
All Saints Catholic School (the Client) invites tenders for the full supply of catering services, based upon the terms and conditions supplied at: Terling Road, Dagenham, RM8 1D8. All Saints Catholic School is an 11-18 Catholic comprehensive located in Dagenham in the Diocese of Brentwood. The school has been recognised not only for its outstanding academic success (rated outstanding at a recent Ofsted) but also for other aspects e.g. we achieved the Gold Artsmark Award, Gold Equalities Award, Gold Mental Health Award, Flagship School for Inclusion Award. The school is presenting an exciting opportunity to partner with a Supplier who is able to deliver their vision of promoting the health and wellbeing of their circa 1300pupils and 180 staff through the catering provision. Due to the timescale available for tender, this opportunity is being procured through an open tender process, with the SQ submission co-terminating with the ITT submission allowing a reduced timeframe, with the new contract term to commence in April 2025 at the start of the Summer term. Current catering turnover is around PS450k per annum, with a lunch only servicer provision specified by the school. The school has designed and refined a particular style of food service, with all ten service points (requiring 14 staff) serving the same replicated offer. This works for the school and the time table and the specification on of this ITT requires this service arrangement to be taken forward into the next catering contract term. Currently there are 10 till service points in three service areas, all replicating the same service offer which is available on a meal deal basis - Mains vary daily but will include Hot entrees with appropriate accompaniments, vegetarian alternatives, jackets & fillings and a selection of hot and cold sandwiches. Each entree is bundled with Drink and dessert to make up the meal deal. The current offer is visible on the school's website. 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 uptake to contribute against overheads - this can be achieved by offering a dynamic and bespoke food offering at 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 fresh produce and prime cooking; -Efficient and consistent speed of service with great student and staff interaction; -Catering staff integration with the School community and support with Curriculum activities. -Identifying and potential funding of appropriate additions to the existing offer through focused investment in prime cooking and service points The Client expects the successful Supplier to evidence, through their bid, how they will deliver these focus areas whilst taking on appropriate elements of risk. The client would welcome some incoming investment to upgrade prime cooking capability and the look and feel of the service 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 engaged operational team that can demonstrate and upskill menu content to provide services that meet expectation. 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 contract will be for an initial three year-term, (with potential for further extension).
