UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Educo is seeking a contractor to provide term-time catering for three primary schools in the London Borough of Haringey: pupil lunches at Devonshire Hill Nursery and Primary School, and primary school meals at Lea Valley Primary School and Tetherdown Primary School. The work is divided by school, so suppliers can focus on one or more school requirements. The service is intended to deliver consistent-quality catering across the contract term. This is a school catering services contract, procured by Educo Consultancy & Facilities Management on behalf of the schools. Delivery is at the three named schools in Haringey, London.

The buyer invited offers through a single-stage, open competitive tender. The three school lots each have an initial contract period from 26 March 2027 to 25 March 2030, with two possible one-year extensions. The stated estimated values are £615,600 for Devonshire Hill, £784,890 for Lea Valley and £777,195 for Tetherdown, excluding VAT. Questions were due by 11 November 2026 at 17:00, and bids by 25 November 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was expected by 29 January 2027. For each lot, evaluation gives 50% to the operational response, 40% to the financial proposal and 10% to the organisation’s financial status. Offers may be submitted electronically in English.

The opportunity suits school catering providers able to run a dependable term-time meal service and demonstrate how their operations match the needs of each school. Suppliers should be prepared to explain their operational approach and submit a financial proposal for the schools, alongside information about their organisation’s financial position. The separate school lots allow providers to target the sites that fit their service capacity, while bidders seeking a broader contract can address more than one school. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable. The stated focus is on consistent service quality throughout the contract, so relevant experience delivering reliable primary-school meals and the operational resources to maintain that standard are commercially pertinent.
