Summary of the contracting process

Springhill Catholic Primary School, a public body located in Southampton, UK, has conducted a procurement process for catering services under the title "EPT-56131 - Springhill Catholic Primary School - Lot 1 - Catering Services Case003440." The procurement, classified under the industry category "School catering services," used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This process followed a further competition under an established Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and is now complete. The contract was awarded on 7 May 2025 to City Catering Southampton, and the total contract value is £1,268,546. The contract had a provision for optional extensions, structured as a 3+1+1 arrangement, but the lot status was eventually marked as cancelled.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in catering services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide high-quality food services to schools. Although this specific contract was awarded to an SME, future similar opportunities can benefit catering companies that focus on both quality and price competitiveness, as the award criteria weighted these elements at 60% and 40% respectively. Given the contract's geographical focus in Southampton, businesses in or near this region may find advantageous prospects by engaging in DPS frameworks and positioning for future public procurement opportunities in educational institutions.
