Those tenderers that meet the quality thresholds met will be shortlisted (4 highest scoring) and invited to stage 3. Stage 3 - Food Presentation, demonstration and question and answer session. The food presentation and demonstration will be scored and the question and answer session will be used to clarify proposals. The tenderer achieving the highest score overall will be recommended to deliver the contract."

"riskDetails": "i) It is possible that Children Centres may be removed from the framework at any point after the first year of the contract if catering provision is no longer required at this location. Payments for the Children Centre removed from the framework will finish at the end of the notice period. In all cases a minimum of 3 months notice will be provided. ii) It is not yet determined whether meals will be prepared for Oldhill Children Centre on site or offsite. We expect to be able to advise on this at the full tender stage. iii) It is possible that further Children Centres may join the framework after the framework has commenced. A maximum of 2 Children Centres will be permitted to join at a budget of PS180,000.",
