## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is seeking to enhance the educational landscape with its "Whole School Food & Nutrition Programme." This initiative, valued at £540,000 and falling under the education and training services industry, aims to transform school meals and food education across Leicestershire. The contract will run from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2018, with the option for a further 24-month extension. The open procurement process has recently concluded, with the award announced on 20th March 2017, and the tender period ended on 20th January 2017.

This programme represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, nutritional consultancy, or community engagement initiatives, especially those with a focus on sustainable practices. Companies that can provide innovative food education solutions, cooking classes, and community integration activities will be particularly well-positioned to participate in this initiative, ultimately contributing to a healthier school experience in the region.

## Notice

A sustainable health and education programme to help transform school meals and food education in schools and communities, as part of the Leicestershire Healthy Schools Programme. The aim is to give pupils and their families the skills and knowledge needed to cook, grow and enjoy good quality, affordable food, as well as increasing understanding of where food comes from. The programme should use food to engage the community and improve the whole school experience, making lunchtimes a positive feature of the day and enriching classroom learning with farm visits, practical cooking and growing. The aim of the programme is to give schools the tools they need to make long term changes to their food culture and their curriculum to support healthy behaviours. The programme will be available to every school in Leicestershire. The contract is being offered for an initial period of 12 months, with the option to extend for up to a further 24 months.
