Summary of the contracting process

Manorfield Primary & Nursery School, located in Horley, United Kingdom, is overseeing a significant public procurement process for providing school catering services across the Horley Primary Cluster. The tender process, titled "Horley Primary Cluster Catering Tender," involves five different schools in the region (UKJ26) and operates under a selective procurement method referred to as a "Competitive flexible procedure". Currently in the tender phase, interested parties must submit expressions of interest by 2nd February 2026, with a final award decision expected by 8th May 2026. The contract is scheduled to start on 1st September 2026, and it offers a considerable opportunity for service providers within the school catering services industry, classified under CPV code 55524000.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specializing in school catering services to expand their reach within the sub-central government public authority sector. With the possibility of individual bidding on different school lots, companies can strategically select where to apply resources optimally. The competitive aspect and the structure of the process, with up to five companies being invited for interviews, encourage participation from SMEs, affording smaller businesses a fair chance to compete alongside larger firms. Additionally, the potential for renewal after three years based on performance provides a stable, long-term growth avenue for successful bidders willing to deliver high-quality services.
