This procurement process falls under the "services" category, specifically focusing on school catering services within the London region. The tender, which adopts a selective procurement method following a restricted procedure, has a deadline for submissions set for 23 March 2020. The framework agreement is expected to span four years, commencing on 3 August 2020 and concluding on 2 August 2024, with a total estimated contract value of £38 million. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the catering sector, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive catering services to educational institutions. Companies specialising in school catering, including small and medium-sized enterprises, are well-positioned to participate in this tender. Additionally, businesses offering hospitality catering services as part of their portfolio could find this framework beneficial, as it allows Local Education Authority schools within the borough to opt into the agreement, potentially increasing their client base substantially over the framework's duration. ## Notice Thomas Tallis School (The Contracting Authority) invites tenders for the full supply of catering services to The Royal Borough of Greenwich Schools via a single-supplier framework agreement, based upon the terms and conditions contained in this Tender Specification. The Framework agreement allows potentially all Local Education Authority (LEA) schools to join. Thomas Tallis School is acting a central purchasing body conducting the procurement on behalf of itself and these other schools. The schools listed in the pricing documentation are intending to award call-off contracts on the establishment of the framework. The process will award two separate single-supplier framework agreements, one for primary & nursery schools and the other for secondary schools needs. The Contracting Authority for this OJEU Restricted Procedure will initially be Thomas Tallis School, who are a member of the Greenwich Community Schools Partnership (GCSP). The GCSP are setting up a Community Interest Company (CIC) yet to be named which we expect to be established and in place to award the frameworks at the end of this process. The Contracting Authority also reserves the right to award the frameworks and then to novate them to the CIC via a deed of novation. Additional information: The Contract will cover the full catering provision including any hospitality catering required for Primary School, Nursery School and Secondary School sites. The Contract will be let as a framework agreement so that other Local Education Authority schools within the Borough can choose to opt into the framework at any given point within the four (4) year framework Contract period. The framework allows for the call-down Contract to be five (5) years plus two (2), however a limitation has been put in place so that all call-down Contracts will have an end date that is co-terminus which will be five (5) years plus two (2) from the date the first schools call-down from the Contract. The Framework Terms and Conditions of contract that have been published alongside this notice in the Invitation To Tender (ITT) pack are subject to change before the ITT stage of this process commences.
