## Summary

The Cranmer Education Trust is seeking a supplier for its Catering Tender, which aims to provide catering services at two of its schools located in Oldham and Middleton, Greater Manchester. This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, having opened on 4th March 2021 and set to close on 9th April 2021. The contract value is estimated at £3,025,000, under the services category specifically for school catering services. Bidders are required to be experienced in catering for secondary schools and may need to meet specific dietary requirements such as Halal offerings.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in school catering and food service management. Given the growing number of students in the Cranmer Education Trust, with an anticipated increase to 2,800 secondary pupils by 2022, businesses that can demonstrate a capability for providing high-quality, ethically sourced meals tailored to various school environments are particularly well-suited to compete. Suppliers should prepare to submit conforming bids alongside any variant bids in order to maximise their chances of success.
