## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Lancashire County Council involves the provision of a School Meal Transportation Service, titled "LPS CORP - Provision of a School Meal Transportation Service - RFQ 12935289". This open procedure, classified under the CPV code for road transport services, is based in the North West region of England. The tender period concluded on 20 April 2016, with the awarded contract amounting to £120,000, which commenced on 1 September 2016 and runs until 31 August 2018, with possibilities for extension based on mutual agreement and performance.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in logistics and transport services. Businesses that can efficiently manage the daily coordination and transportation of school meals in insulated containers are well-suited to compete for these contracts. Given the urgency and importance of timely service provision in the education sector, firms with established capabilities in food transport and service management are encouraged to engage with similar future opportunities.

## Notice

A Service Provider is required to centrally co-ordinate and manage the transportation of school meals (hot and cold) in insulated containers from 'production kitchens' to 'serveries' on a daily basis. The Service Provider must provide a fully managed service where time is of the essence. Additional information: The contract will expire on the 31st August 2018, however the Council may extend the contract by any number of defined periods provided always that the total maximum duration of the contract does not exceed four years, subject to the agreement of both parties and contractual performance. For any further enquiries please contact the lead officer: Chris Ridings: christopher.ridings@lancashire.gov.uk
