Bolder Academy (RM&C) is inviting tenders for its catering services, under the title "Bolder Academy Catering Tender". Located in Isleworth, United Kingdom, this procurement process falls within the school catering services industry category. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with Bolder Academy acting as the buying organisation. Potential suppliers must express interest by 9th January 2026, with interviews expected before the award period commencing from 30th March 2026.
