This procurement falls within the school catering services category (CPV 55524000) and is in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 13 December 2021. The tender process utilises a selective procurement method, following a restricted procedure. The contract is expected to span 1800 days, with a potential for renewal after three years based on satisfactory performance.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for catering businesses, particularly those with experience in school food services and the ability to cater to a high volume of students and staff. Given the school's commitment to enhancing staff meal uptake and community engagement through initiatives such as summer balls and charity events, businesses that can offer innovative and appealing meal options may find this contract especially attractive.

## Notice

In 1563 Sir Roger Manwood founded a Free Grammar School in Sandwich to make education accessible to the townspeople. Since 1563 a great deal has changed. The original school building still stands, but the School has occupied its present site since 1895. Boarders joined Headmaster's House even in Elizabethan times, but expansion came much later. First, Manwood Lodge was acquired in 1947, and three years later the School purchased Manwood Grange. In September 1992 Manwood's became Grant-Maintained, keeping its Founder's intention firmly in mind: to offer as broad an education as possible, with special emphasis on the pupils' academic development. In 1999 the School assumed Foundation status. In 2003 the School was awarded Language College Specialism and in 2008, as a High Performing Specialist School, the second specialism of Maths and Computing. On 1 March 2011 the School became a Converter Academy. Also in 2011 the School lost its specialist school status due to the initiative being withdrawn by the government, but these subject areas continue to thrive, with four languages being taught (French, German, Spanish and Chinese) and healthy numbers studying both Mathematics and Further Mathematics at A Level. In recent times the School has faced many challenges, Covid-19 being the most disruptive. The Boarding House closed in 2020 and the School is now a thriving day school with over 1,000 students on site. With the catering facilities the School staff have a specific dining room adjacent to the restaurant and uptake has grown recently, the School would like to increase staff sales further. The Grange is a former boarding house and there are plans to convert this into a sixth form centre in 2025. The feasibility of the Pod, and the location of it, will be considered at that time. The School are very active fund raisers and expect the successful contractor to support initiatives, from summer balls, charity auctions, raffles and school fetes.
