## Summary

The Cidari Multi Academy Trust is currently conducting a catering tender aimed at servicing its high schools and primary schools in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 30th January 2018 and is part of a selective procurement process under the restricted procedure, intending to establish a contract that will commence in September 2018. Key deadlines include the deadline for tender responses on 12th February 2018 and potential interviews in April or May 2018.
