This tender falls under the industry category of 'School meals' and aims to provide balanced meal options for students. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 25 March 2019. The contract is scheduled to start on 1 August 2019 and will run until 25 August 2024, with a total contract value of £153,300. The procurement method employed is an open procedure that is below the threshold. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in catering, particularly those focused on school meal services and healthy dietary options. Companies that can ensure high quality and value for money in meal preparation and delivery will find themselves well-positioned to compete. With a focus on improving food quality for a large number of pupils, businesses that are innovative in meal planning and have experience in catering to schools will likely have an advantage in this competitive process. ## Notice Background & Objectives to the Project John Rankin Schools require a school meal service that provides healthy balanced meal options. We believe that there is a link between a healthy diet and the ability to learn effectively, and therefore, we require this important element of the school day to benefit our pupils as much as possible. We want every child or parent to be able to choose, and be provided with, their preferred meal. We also want every child to enjoy their meal in a well prepared and safe dining area. We understand the school has a responsibility to promote and encourage healthy eating and we require a caterer to work with the school on developing this further. It is very important that the service delivers both value for money as well as high standards in procurement, production and customer care. The school is split over three sites, an infant, junior and nursery school. It is only the junior school that has a working kitchen. The infant school has a hot servery and a dishwasher. Food is cooked at the junior school and transported to the nursery and infant school for service. The food quality at the infant and nursery needs to be improved as it continues cooking during the transportation process and quality of the meal declines. Contractors are invited to visit the School and catering facilities to find out more, and are referred to the school's Ofsted Report (available online), and our website: www.jrs.w-berks.sch.uk Number of Pupils on Roll: 663 Number of Free School Meals: 56 Number of UIFSM: 255 Current Average Weekly Uptake: 816 Current Meal Price: PS2.35 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4221a-b2c9-47ab-accd-67ef4e65bd8b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 25 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2019 - 25 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £153,300 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | JOHN RANKIN SCHOOLS | | Locality | NEWBURY | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG14 6ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | West Berkshire | | Electoral ward | Newbury Wash Common | | Westminster constituency | Newbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 15894210 - School meals - 55500000 - Canteen and catering services ## Release History - 26 Feb 2019 at 13:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4221a-b2c9-47ab-accd-67ef4e65bd8b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4221a-b2c9-47ab-accd-67ef4e65bd8b 26th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ef966146-857d-4362-aad9-7bfd948105a0 ITT ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
