The procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions required by 13th December 2021. Located in Sandwich, England, the school is keen to enhance its catering offering, which has seen increased demand. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st April 2022 and will run until 31st March 2025, following a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the catering sector, especially those with expertise in providing services tailored for educational institutions. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) may find this particularly beneficial, as the school is open to engaging with organisations that can deliver quality dining experiences for both students and staff. The successful contractor will also have the chance to participate in community-oriented events, further supporting their visibility and growth within the local market. ## Notice In 1563 Sir Roger Manwood founded a Free Grammar School in Sandwich to make education accessible to the townspeople. Since 1563 a great deal has changed. The original school building still stands, but the School has occupied its present site since 1895.Boarders joined Headmaster's House even in Elizabethan times, but expansion came much later. First, Manwood Lodge was acquired in 1947, and three years later the School purchased Manwood Grange.In September 1992 Manwood's became Grant-Maintained, keeping its Founder's intention firmly in mind: to offer as broad an education as possible, with special emphasis on the pupils' academic development. In 1999 the School assumed Foundation status.?In 2003 the School was awarded Language College Specialism and in 2008, as a High Performing Specialist School, the second specialism of Maths and Computing. On 1 March 2011 the School became a Converter Academy. Also in 2011 the School lost its specialist school status due to the initiative being withdrawn by the government, but these subject areas continue to thrive, with four languages being taught (French, German, Spanish and Chinese) and healthy numbers studying both Mathematics and Further Mathematics at A Level.In recent times the School has faced many challenges, Covid-19 being the most disruptive. The Boarding House closed in 2020 and the School is now a thriving day school with over 1,000 students on site.With the catering facilities the School staff have a specific dining room adjacent to the restaurant and uptake has grown recently, the School would like to increase staff sales further.The Grange is a former boarding house and there are plans to convert this into a sixth form centre in 2025. The feasibility of the Pod, and the location of it, will be considered at that time.The School are very active fund raisers and expect the successful contractor to support initiatives, from summer balls, charity auctions, raffles and school fetes.For full information visit www.manwoods.co.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89833d02-ca0a-4782-9ff6-0cd12729fad5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SIR ROGER MANWOOD'S SCHOOL | | Locality | SANDWICH | | Post town | Canterbury | | Postcode | CT13 9JX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ44 East Kent | | Local authority | Dover | | Electoral ward | Sandwich | | Westminster constituency | Herne Bay and Sandwich | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55524000 - School catering services ## Release History - 11 Nov 2021 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89833d02-ca0a-4782-9ff6-0cd12729fad5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89833d02-ca0a-4782-9ff6-0cd12729fad5 11th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV163105 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.rmandcconsultants.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
