## Summary

The Turner Schools is currently inviting tenders for a Catering Tender, aimed at providing comprehensive daily catering services for its five schools located in Folkestone, Kent. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 17th January 2022. The successful contractor will be responsible for breakfast, lunch, and after-school meals focusing on high-quality ingredients to boost pupil meal uptake. The contract is set to commence on 2nd April 2022 and will run until 1st April 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure, ensuring transparency and accessibility to all interested providers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the catering and food service industry, particularly those with experience in school catering services. Companies that specialise in high-quality meal provision and are capable of innovating dining experiences—such as family dining in educational settings—would find this tender particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the contract framework is conducive to their participation, potentially paving the way for growth in a community-focused market.

## Notice

Turner Schools is a growing MAT with five schools based in Folkestone, Kent all within a two mile radius of each other. The Trust provides education from nursery through to sixth form and currently has two secondary schools and three primary schools. The Trust is inviting tenders to serve all schools within the Trust with a full daily catering provision. This will consist of breakfast, break, lunch and after-school meals. We are looking for a provision where focus is on high quality ingredients and taste to increase pupil meal take up. One of our secondary schools provides a family dining experience which needs to be maintained and possibly rolled out to our primary schools. The provision is currently outsourced, therefore not all catering staff are in the Local Government Pension Scheme. TUPE is expected to apply. A full tender document can be supplied on request by emailing your interest to tender@turnerschools.com.
