UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Anne's Catholic Primary School is procuring a school meals catering service for its pupils, staff and visitors. The provider will be expected to deliver safe, compliant and high-quality catering that meets relevant food safety and nutritional standards, offers value for money, and supports positive health, wellbeing and dining experiences. The service also covers sustainability, including responsible sourcing, waste reduction, environmental management and initiatives aligned with the school's wider sustainability objectives. The buying organisation is St Anne's Catholic Primary School, at Durham Street, London. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the main classification being school meals.

The process has reached tender: the school invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 14 September 2026 at 10:00, and tenders were due by 19 October 2026 at 10:00. Bids may be submitted electronically. There is one lot, valued at £150,000 excluding VAT and £180,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with extensions of two further 12-month periods permitted, up to 31 March 2032. Evaluation is weighted 70% to quality, integrity and management, and 30% to financial considerations.

This opportunity suits catering providers able to manage school food services safely, consistently and in line with food safety and nutritional requirements. Strong operational management, quality assurance, integrity and financial control will be important because non-financial criteria carry most of the evaluation weighting. Providers should be able to serve pupils, staff and visitors while maintaining a positive dining experience and demonstrating value for money. The requirement also favours businesses with practical sustainability systems, including responsible procurement and sourcing, waste reduction, environmental management and initiatives that support the school's sustainability objectives. The school identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
