## Summary

The procurement process involves Sir Roger Manwood's School, which is located in Sandwich, UK, and pertains to the provision of school catering services. The title of the tender is "Reference number: RM&C/2019/105." This contract was awarded to Independent Catering through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, due to extreme urgency linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in catering services, particularly those equipped to manage school meal programmes.
