### Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract will commence on 1 August 2022 for an initial period of three years, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of two years at the discretion of the different school governing bodies. This is the first time the market has been tested for the catering service. The Client expects the successful Supplier to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared in the shared kitchen on-site. The Client expects the successful Supplier to evidence, through their bid, how they shall support and complement their stated target. The Client requires year one menus to be fully compliant with the Food for Life Silver standard. The contract covers the scope for the provision of catering services within both the schools, which currently include: Junior School breakfast and after school clubs, lunch on both sites, all hospitality and free issue requirements. The Client intends to focus heavily on healthy, fresh, seasonal, locally sourced produce and sees the catering service as an exciting opportunity to complement the overall pupil experience, through the regular introduction of new ingredients, themed and promotional events. The successful Supplier will be required to play their part in acting as a catalyst for improvement of the pupil experience. The successful Supplier will work closely with the Client to manage the provision of catering and the overall 'meal experience. Suppliers' thoughts regarding how to support the schools' catering improvement objectives within the term of the initial contract are welcome. The schools are already 'cashless' with either 'entitled' parents, or a prepaid cash amount for each half-term's meals, paid in advance via the online 'SchoolMoney' payment system. The Client invites bidders to consider offers of appropriate capital investment. NB: Please note that the successful contractor will pay a proportion of the procurement consultancy fee on award of this contract, which will be to the value of PS5,250.00 plus VAT. This fee will be invoiced immediately after the 10 day standstill period. To ensure transparency, you will clearly show within your management fee a breakdown of this fee, over the initial three year length of the contract. The total fee will be paid by the successful contractor, in full to Litmus, by no later than Friday 3rd June 2022. See SQ Document for further details.
