## Summary

The Astrea Academy Trust (AAT) has announced a tender for the "South Yorkshire and Derbyshire Catering Framework", focused on providing school catering services. This procurement process, which is currently active, aims to establish a framework initially for Chorus Trust schools with potential extensions to other academies during the contract duration. The procurement falls under the industry category of services, specifically school catering services (CPV 55524000). It covers multiple delivery locations, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The tender process is open with all submissions to be made via In-Tend, and the end date for the tender period is set for 8th January 2025, while the contract period runs from 21st February 2025 to 20th February 2028.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the catering industry to expand their operations and collaborate with educational institutions. Companies with expertise in school catering services and a capacity to scale across diverse regions, including overseas territories and Europe, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method is open, allowing for broad competition and ensuring that a range of competent suppliers can participate.
