Summary of the contracting process

The Ivy Education Trust, based at Teignmouth Community School in Teignmouth, launched a tender for the provision of catering services to its schools. The contract was divided into two lots: Outsourced Catering Provision and Managed Catering Service. Although the contract was initially awarded on 17 December 2025 to Fresha Limited for Lot 1, the procurement process was unfortunately cancelled as of 27 April 2026 due to the supplier ceasing operations. The services aimed to cover five primary and three secondary schools, ensuring high-quality catering service, consistent with the Trust's goals of providing value for money and accommodating the needs of school staff, pupils, and parents. The procurement followed an open procedure with critical dates including a tender and award period ending on 31 December 2025, and a standstill period concluding on 14 January 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for catering companies specialising in school services, particularly those with expertise in delivering both high-quality meals and efficient management services. Businesses well-suited for this tender are those that can demonstrate capabilities in innovation, menu planning, allergy management, and sustainability practices, as well as meeting financial and technical criteria such as insurance coverage and previous contracts in the education sector. With the option for new schools to join the Trust during the contract period, and possibilities for renewals and additional purchases, companies with flexibility to scale their services could benefit immensely from this engagement. The region of delivery is primarily located in UKK43, covering parts of Southwest England, and presents opportunities for both large and small to medium enterprises capable of managing staff and supply chains effectively.
