## Summary

The London Borough of Southwark has issued a tender titled "Evaluation of Secondary School Meals Pilot" in the services category, aiming to evaluate the impact of providing free school meals to primary and secondary school children in the area. The procurement method is not specified, with a contract value of £60,000. The tender deadline for submissions is 9th June 2023, with the contract period starting on 10th July 2023 and ending on 1st September 2024.

This opportunity presents a chance for evaluation consultancy services and companies specialising in school meals to participate and contribute to a significant public policy initiative. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage in this tender, which could offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of providing school meals in improving nutrition, attainment levels, and addressing hunger-related issues in secondary schools within the London Borough of Southwark.

## Notice

On 20 February 2023, The Mayor of London unveiled a 130m emergency fund to provide all primary school children in the capital with a free school meal for one year from September 2023. Southwark Council already fund universal primary school meal provision through the Free Healthy School Meals grant. Following a presentation at Council Assembly on 22 February 2023, the Leader of the Council announced on 24 February 2023 that Southwark Council intend to use the expected Free Healthy School Meals grant saving to tackle hunger in secondary schools. Southwark Council recognise the importance of formally evaluating this one year pilot to capture learning around the policy implementation process and understand the impact of funding school meals in secondary schools on hunger, nutrition, attainment and stigma.
