## Summary

West Sussex County Council, through its SE Shared Services, is currently in the Tender stage of the procurement process for the "WSCC DR Framework for the Provision of Catering Services for Secondary Schools." This open procedure aims to establish a framework of service providers to deliver Free School Meals and paid catering services for secondary schools within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender period ends on 13 March 2018, while the contract is anticipated to commence on 1 June 2018, lasting until 31 May 2023. The minimum value estimated for this procurement is £2,620,000, with a total estimated value of £18,340,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for catering companies, particularly those specialising in school meal services, cafeteria operations, and related food service needs. Businesses that can demonstrate capability in delivering high-quality, nutritious meals to educational institutions would be well-suited to compete. Given the framework's provision for up to six service providers, companies have a chance to establish long-term contracts, thereby enhancing their business growth potential in the public sector.
