## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) is conducting the Breakfast Clubs Programme procurement process, aiming to secure a single national supplier for food goods and logistical services across schools in England. The tender falls under the 'services' category, specifically within restaurant and food-serving services (CPV: 55300000). The procurement process commenced with the tender publication on 15 March 2021, with a submission deadline for responses set for 16 April 2021. The contract term is planned from 1 July 2021 to 31 July 2023, with a total contract value of £23,700,000, and the DfE retains an option to renew the contract for an additional year if required.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses seeking to expand their operations in the education sector, particularly those offering food supply and meal delivery services. Companies that can demonstrate their ability to meet the Government's School Food Standards and deliver nutritional food provisions would be especially well-suited to participate in this tender. Collaboration among consortia or partnerships with other suppliers may enhance competitiveness, allowing businesses to leverage diverse capabilities to fulfil the DfE's requirements effectively.

## Notice

The Department for Education (DfE) seeks to contract a single national supplier for the provision of food goods and the associated logistical services for the Breakfast Clubs Programme in schools across England. Food will be provided for school terms, from September 2021 until July 2023. Schools are a vital part of the government's plan to improve social mobility and tackle childhood obesity. Accessible and healthy breakfast clubs can play an important role in ensuring children from all backgrounds have a nutritious start to their day, helping them to optimise their learning potential. Evidence of impact is strongest among disadvantaged pupils where education outcomes tend to be lower and deprived areas where obesity rates are higher. The DfE will award a single contract for the delivery of Breakfast Club Services, providing national coverage throughout England. To that end we welcome bids from consortia and/or a lead (prime) supplier with a supply chain of sub-contractors.
