Notice Description
The Heathland School is a Secondary School in Hounslow, Middlesex, which was founded in 1974. The school is an outstanding 11-18 Co-educational Community Comprehensive School committed to delivering exceptional academic success and providing an environment where individual learners thrive and become confident, independent and informed citizens of the future. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of service within the existing facilities for the 1850 students on roll and 220 teaching and support staff, The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2028 and will operate as a Guaranteed Performance Contract, with the successful Contractor offering the school a guaranteed return / cost per annum for the provision of catering services. The school year is based on a calendar of 195 days.

The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the School, which currently includes morning break, lunch, all hospitality and free issue requirements. Free School meals and hospitality will be charged based on consumption and net food cost. Whilst the School prioritises value for money as a key objective of the Competitive Tender Process, the Governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price. Please see SQ Document for more information.
