Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Catering Services" conducted by Windsor Academy Trust involved a tender for providing school catering services across multiple locations within the West Midlands (regions UKG23, UKG24, UKG36, UKG37, UKG38). This process, following the restricted procedure method under the category of services, has reached the award stage as of 13th July 2026 with the status marked complete. The contract was awarded to Relish School Food on 16th June 2026 for a value of £698,482. The tender focused on quality and price, with key criteria including delivery and customer service, sustainability, and added value. Originally intended to include the provision of catering services at five schools with management at nine additional schools, the associated lot faced cancellation, but formal awards have been made nonetheless.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational catering services, particularly those that can offer innovative solutions in sustainability and customer service. Companies with expertise in school catering and an ability to manage contracts across multiple sites will find this an advantageous market entry point. The use of a dynamic purchasing system and the potential for extensions provide further business growth opportunities for committed suppliers looking to forge long-term relationships within the educational sector. Large-scale catering firms with a robust understanding of public sector requirements and the ability to demonstrate added value will be well-suited to engage and compete in similar future tenders.
