## Summary

The procurement process involves Cornwall Council seeking a contractor to provide catering services at the Porthpean Outdoor Education Centre, located in Truro, South West England. The contract, valued at £250,000, aims to supply meals for groups of 30 to 200 children during their residential stays, primarily from April to October. The procurement method is open, and the contract was awarded on 31 March 2017, with a total duration until 31 March 2021. The tender was officially completed and announced on 30 July 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the catering services industry, particularly those that specialise in large-scale meal provision for educational organisations or outdoor facilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to be accessible to various providers capable of meeting the contract requirements. Companies with experience in catering for residential events or educational groups would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts.

## Notice

Porthpean Outdoor Education Centre is part of the Cornwall Council Learning and Achievement Directorate and provides outdoor learning, adventure education and residential experience to schools and other organisations in Cornwall. This procurement is to appoint a sole contractor to provide catering for the residential groups using the centre to include breakfast, lunch, evening meal and bedtime drink. The groups comprise anywhere between 30-200 children in the period April-October (fewer numbers in school holidays). Although the centre is open all year round the main residential period is typically April to October though there is an intention to expand this to include March and November. The Centre is open 7 days a week though typically the client groups occupy the centre from Monday to Friday, often with a midweek changeover. Group sizes vary. At its busiest the Centre accommodates in the region of 200 people however there are occasions when only 20-30 clients are in attendance.
