## Summary

The Wyre Forest School in Worcestershire has completed the procurement stage for its catering tender titled "Wyre Forest School ~ Catering Tender". This process was conducted using a restricted procedure, classified under the CPV code for school catering services. The services are to be provided within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom, with the contract period set to commence on 1st January 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2030. The procurement, amounting to a value of £678,933.50, was intended for SMEs but not VCSEs. The award was finalised on 17th September 2025, after the end of the tender period, and the information was published on 1st October 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for providers specialising in school catering services. Firms with experience in delivering catering solutions in educational settings, particularly for special needs institutions, would be well-positioned to benefit from this procurement. SMEs capable of offering quality catering services over an extended contract period stand a good chance in such specialised tenders, especially given the substantial scale of this contract. The successful supplier for this tender, abm Catering Ltd, highlights the potential for large-scale firms with a strong regional presence to secure such opportunities in the education sector.
