## Notice

Westminster Schools' Consortium (The Consortium) currently comprises 16 Primary schools located in the London borough of Westminster and was formed in 2019 following the council's decision to delegate the previous centrally managed school meal service to schools. Since 2019, the school meal service has been outsourced and The Consortium now wishes to participate in a tender process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for a further contract to supply its centrally managed outsourced school meals service.
