Summary of the contracting process

Eastbury Community School located in Barking, United Kingdom, has concluded its procurement process for catering services. Initially announced in November 2025, the tender invited submissions until November 27, 2025, using a competitive flexible procedure. The contract, valued at £1,440,000 gross and awarded to OLIVE DINING LTD, is expected to commence on April 1, 2026, for three years with possible extensions. This tender falls under the school catering services category, serving the region UKI52. The procurement process involved stages such as selection and shortlisting, invitation to tender, presentations, and reference checking.

This awarded contract presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers in the school catering industry. With an emphasis on quality and price, SMEs were encouraged to participate, as demonstrated by two SME bids reaching the final stage. Companies capable of providing high-quality catering services and equipped to manage contracts with public authorities, particularly schools, are well-suited for such opportunities. Businesses focussing on expanding their footprint in educational service sectors can find lucrative prospects by engaging in these competitive procurement processes. The awarded contract includes options for extension, providing potential long-term engagement and stability for the successful supplier.
