Summary of the contracting process

Educo procured term-time school catering on behalf of three primary schools in the London Borough of Haringey. The requirement covers school meals for Campsbourne Primary School and Crowland Primary School, and meals for nursery, infant and junior pupils and staff at Rokesly Nursery, Infant & Junior School. The work is delivered at the three schools in Haringey, London. This is a food-service contract focused on preparing and providing meals during school terms, with each school treated as a separate package. The schools chose their preferred supplier individually, so the procurement could result in one supplier serving all three schools or different suppliers serving different schools. Nourish was selected for all three packages.

The procurement is complete and the awards went to Nourish. Campsbourne Primary School catering was awarded on 24 September 2026 for £1,205,759; the contract period is 24 October 2026 to 31 December 2030, with two possible one-year extensions subject to agreed performance targets. Crowland Primary School catering was awarded on 25 September 2026 for £864,500; its contract period is 24 October 2026 to 31 December 2031, with two possible one-year extensions subject to agreed performance targets. Rokesly Nursery, Infant & Junior Schools catering was awarded on 25 September 2026 for £1,382,573; its contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, with two possible one-year extensions subject to agreed performance targets. The open, single-stage procedure had a submission deadline of 11 August 2026. Financial standing, price and operational management proposals were scored at 10%, 50% and 40% respectively; each school made its own final choice.

This award demonstrates demand from Educo and three Haringey schools for term-time catering delivered across primary and nursery settings, including meals for pupils and staff. A credible competitor when comparable work returns will need to demonstrate the financial capacity to sustain school meal provision, present a clear and viable account of revenue and costs, and show strong operational management for a school catering contract. The evaluation placed greatest weight on the financial tender and operational proposal, with financial standing also assessed. Suppliers should be prepared to explain how they would manage provision at each school and address the needs of different pupil age groups and staff. The separate school decisions show that suppliers may need a strong, school-specific proposal, even where the buyer runs a shared procurement.
