The procurement is currently in the Tender stage and the deadline for submissions is 17 February 2017. The contract is set to commence on 1 September 2017, lasting for three years with an option to extend for an additional two years. The total budget for this service is £81,000, and it falls under the Education and Training Services category. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in catering services, particularly those experienced in providing meal solutions within educational settings. Companies that offer innovative dining experiences tailored for primary school students or that emphasise sustainable sourcing of ingredients would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, the school seeks a contractor that can foster a collaborative relationship, integrating into the school's community to enhance the overall dining experience for its pupils and staff. ## Notice St Francis CofE VA Primary School with approx 460 pupils and 45 staff is looking to secure a contract for the Provision of Catering Services from 01/09/2017 for 3 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years. The school is seeking a company that can deliver a variety of fresh, nutritious and appetising food within exciting and continually evolving menus; the requirement is for an attractive selection of dishes, dictated by personal taste as well as by dietary requirements and inspired by seasonal and topical events. Equally, the school is seeking contractor awareness and experience of using different types of food in a Primary School setting, how raw products are sourced and an overall approach to sustainability. Meals must be prepared and cooked in the school's on site facility. The school is seeking an organisation with personnel who will naturally want to become part of the whole school environment (not merely a 3rd party provider); people who will readily engage with the staff, the policies, the character and ethos of the school. The school readily acknowledges that whilst we are experts in Primary education, we are not experts in the Provision of Catering Services - that's where you come in...
