## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking suppliers for the "School Food Review" project, which aims to enhance the food quality in schools across the United Kingdom. This project falls under the hotel, restaurant and retail trade services category. The tender was awarded on 3rd July 2012, with the contract period running from 4th July 2012 to 30th April 2013. With a total contract value of £44,000, this direct award reflects the urgent need for improved school dining experiences, targeting locations both within the UK and overseas territories.

This procurement opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses specialising in food services, nutrition planning, and educational catering. Companies with a focus on sustainable and healthy food preparation, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would find this tender aligned with their offerings. Engaging in this contract could significantly bolster a business’s exposure within the education sector while contributing to the development of healthier eating habits among children.

## Notice

The Secretary of State for Education has asked Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent of LEON Restaurants to put together a school food plan that will build on the successes of the past seven years, accelerate the improvements in school food, and define what role schools have to play in shaping the eating habits of Britain's children.
