## Summary

The Luton Borough Council is seeking bids for a three-year contract titled "School Catering Uniform Refresh" within the East of England. This procurement, classified under the category of school catering services, has a total budget of £70,000 and is currently in the tender stage. Interested suppliers are required to submit their proposals by 31 October 2018. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing any qualified supplier to participate, with a possible extension of two years for the contract period starting on 10 December 2018.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in uniform supply, particularly those that can provide specified and equivalent materials designed to enhance the visibility of kitchen hierarchy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, as they can offer tailored solutions and innovative designs that meet the council's specific needs. This initiative not only aims to uplift the uniform standards but also allows suppliers to engage with a significant public sector client, potentially leading to long-term partnerships.

## Notice

Luton Council has a number of schools within its borough, in which catering is offered by the local authority and the staff uniforms need replacing. To give hierarchy to the kitchen - currently the Kitchen Manager who is "in charge" is not easily identifiable. Colour to identify the hierarchy of job roles within the kitchen. The Corporate colour palate of purple and turquoise would be used. Suppliers are invited to submit their bids for both specified and alternative equivalent materials. This is to set up a contract for 3 years with a possible extension of 2 years.
