Summary of the contracting process

Bellevue Place Education Trust is buying catering services covering school catering, school-meal services and the provision of school meals. The requirement is for catering delivered across the Trust’s operations in the United Kingdom, under the BPET Catering requirement. The buying organisation is Bellevue Place Education Trust, with Place Group Ltd acting as its procurement agent. This is a services contract intended to provide food and catering provision rather than goods or construction works. The requirement is associated with CPV codes 55524000 for school catering services, 55523100 for school-meal services and 15894210 for school meals. The procurement was arranged as one completed lot and sits within the light-touch regime. It is linked to an existing framework arrangement, so the immediate requirement was awarded through that route rather than opened as a standalone competition.

The procurement has been awarded: Harrison Catering Services Limited was selected on 28 August 2026. The awarded value is £4,481,841.02 excluding VAT, or £5,378,209.22 including VAT. The contract period runs from 18 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a maximum extent to 31 August 2029. It is structured as a 1+1+1 arrangement, with renewal provided for. The process was selective and the award was made under a framework, without reopening competition. The contract is complete at tender level and the award is active. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. One supplier was awarded the single lot. A scheduled signature milestone was set for 18 September 2026. The published evaluation basis is not described beyond the framework award route.

This award shows sustained demand from an education trust for a substantial, multi-year school catering operation. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in school food provision, including the delivery of school meals and wider catering services across the Trust’s United Kingdom operations. Relevant experience should include managing catering at education sites, maintaining reliable daily service, and meeting the operational and quality requirements associated with meals for pupils and school communities. The scale of the awarded requirement indicates that suppliers would need sufficient staffing, management systems, supply-chain capacity and financial resilience to support a large education-sector service over several annual periods. Experience of working through public-sector frameworks, particularly selective framework call-offs under the light-touch regime, would also be directly relevant. Harrison Catering Services Limited’s selection demonstrates that established specialist catering providers are well placed for this requirement.
