## Summary

The Lambeth Schools' Consortium, situated in London, has recently concluded the award stage of its procurement process for the Lambeth Schools' Consortium Catering Tender. This process was initiated to secure a centrally managed outsourced school meal service for 32 primary schools in the London Borough of Lambeth. The procurement followed a restricted procedure as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with the award granted to Harrison Catering Services Limited. The contract, valued at £15,519,833, spans from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2031, falling under the service category of school catering services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the school catering industry, particularly for businesses already possessing the capacity to manage large-scale operations in the educational sector. While the award has been completed, it highlights the potential for SMEs in the school catering services sector to align themselves with large-scale, centrally managed contracts. Enterprises with expertise in delivering high-quality school meal services and navigating public procurement regulations would have been well-suited to compete for this tender. The procurement process underscores the importance of robust service delivery and compliance with UK public procurement standards for successful bids.

## Notice

The Lambeth Schools' Consortium (The Consortium) currently comprises 32 Primary Schools located in the London borough of Lambeth and was formed in 2014 following the council's decision to delegate the centrally managed school meal service to schools. Since this time 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
