Summary of the contracting process

Park High School is seeking a supplier to provide school catering services. The school is in Stanmore, and the catering contract is for its site there. The buyer is Park High School (RM&C).

The buyer invited offers through a competitive, selective procedure. The first stage is a scored selection questionnaire; up to five companies that reach the pass mark may be invited to interview and progress to the tender stage. The enquiry and expression-of-interest deadline was 6 November 2026 at 1pm. The stated contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with renewal possible after three years subject to satisfactory performance and a maximum period ending 31 March 2032. The published estimated value is £1. The sole lot is assessed on quality using the scoring example and selection questionnaire. The stated award decision date is 29 January 2027.

The opportunity is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. It is relevant to catering providers able to deliver school food services at a school in Stanmore and to meet the requirements set out in the selection questionnaire. Suppliers should be prepared for a scored first-stage assessment and, if selected, an interview before progressing to the invitation-to-tender stage. The scoring example is intended to show how questionnaire responses are scored. The contract is a multi-year service commitment, with renewal dependent on satisfactory performance, so it will suit providers with the operational capacity to sustain a school catering service over an extended period. No specific catering accreditations or prior experience requirements are stated in the published process details.
