## Summary

The Meller Educational Trust has issued a tender for a centrally procured catering service, titled "Meller Educational Trust Catering Service Tender." This process is categorised under services, specifically focused on school meals. Located in Hertfordshire, the procurement has reached the award stage, with a contract value of £7,066,666 awarded to Cucina Restaurants Limited. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2017 and will run until 31st August 2022. The tender period concluded on 21st March 2017, following a restricted procurement method.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for catering companies looking to expand their service offerings within the educational sector. Businesses that offer flexible catering solutions tailored to diverse student needs across multiple academies would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the Meller Educational Trust potentially seeking additional suppliers for its other schools as their current services end, this contract can serve as a significant growth avenue for SMEs in the food service industry.

## Notice

Meller Educational Trust (MET) is a multi academy trust based in Hertfordshire with seven academies and University Technical Colleges, primarily based around Watford, South Hertfordshire and Hillingdon.The MET is seeking to centrally procure catering services across the Trust. In the first instance, this will encompass the Bushey Academy, Francis Combe Academy, the Hertswood Academy and Watford UTC with the potential to extend to other schools within the Trust as their current arrangements end, and as the Trust grows. The services may vary between academies to suit the local demographic, site facilities and student numbers, and we would expect bidders to take each school's needs into account. Equally, the contract terms must be favourable to each institution within the Trust, and we reserve the right for each academy to determine value for money of the arrangement for their circumstance.
