Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Framework for the provision of Catering Service to Primary Schools in Hackney." This tender, classified under the catering services industry (CPV 55520000), aims to appoint a supplier for catering services across multiple primary schools within Hackney, London, with the framework set to begin on 1 January 2027, and end on 31 December 2031. The tender initiation type specifies it as a framework agreement, which is planned and scheduled to progress with a future notice date on 1 September 2026. The procurement falls under services for sub-central government organisations in the UK region UKI41, with the legal basis tied to the UKPGA regulation 2023/54.

This tender presents a noteworthy opportunity for catering service providers looking to expand their business through long-term contractual agreements with a public authority. Businesses with experience in delivering large-scale, multi-location catering services, especially those familiar with framework agreements, will find this tender particularly appealing. The framework agreement allows for various schools to call off services as needed over the contract period, creating continuous business growth opportunities. Suppliers that can provide high-quality, consistent services and align with the operational needs of primary educational institutions would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Interested parties should prepare for the tender announcement in September 2026 as they strategise to position themselves effectively for bidding success.
