The procurement is classified under the services category, specifically focusing on school catering (CPV code: 55524000). The tender period ends on 25th March 2022, and interested suppliers are encouraged to register their interest and submit electronic responses through the myTenders platform. The contract is structured to last for approximately five years, with the possibility of renewal after three years based on satisfactory performance. This tender offers a promising opportunity for businesses in the catering industry, particularly those specialising in school meal services that promote healthy eating. Companies that can innovate and enhance the existing menu while efficiently managing the kitchen facilities would be well-suited to bid. Given the school's substantial student population of over 1,200 pupils and a robust demand for both traditional meals and 'grab and go' options, suppliers capable of providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions may find significant growth potential through this contract. ## Notice St Joan of Arc School is an academy situated on the High Street in the centre of Rickmansworth which is a small, prosperous, mainly residential, town in southwest Hertfordshire. The school is a Catholic secondary school with approximately 1230 pupils aged between 11 and 18 and it is part of the Diocese of Westminster. It is a mixed school and is non-selective academically but as it is a faith school the Governors encourage applications from parents/carers who wish their child to receive a Catholic education. The school has a large catchment area which extends from Rickmansworth into Buckinghamshire, the London suburbs and Watford. Overall, the school has an excellent reputation, is oversubscribed and academic standards are above average. The school is keen to continue to develop the catering service in the school. The school requires an innovative school catering service that will reflect the school's policy to actively promote healthy eating. The kitchen was completely refurbished, with the exception of the floor, 15 years ago. The kitchen is compact but is fit for purpose and is capable of providing both traditional meals and grab and go food. If the contractor is willing to invest in the kitchen area or the possibility of a catering pod it should state that this is the case in its proposal and this can be discussed in more detail at the presentation stage of the tendering process. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Pupil Numbers: - by year group Year 7 202 Year 8 221 Year 9 216 Year 10 209 Year 11 197 Sixth Form Year 12 81 Sixth Form Year 13 106 Total 1232 Pricings/Sales Price Meal Deal Price 2.40 GBP FSM- Entitled: 70 Uptake: 75% Value: 2.40 GBP Pupil Paid Meal Uptake: 50% Value: avg spend 1.65 GBP Staff Duty Meal Entitled: 35 Uptake: 55% Value: 2.40 GBP with avg spend of 2.05 GBP Staff Cash Meals No of Staff: 140 (89 teaching staff and 51 support staff) Uptake: 20% Value: avg spend of 2.00 GBP Sales over last 2 years trading not typical due to covid - school closed for 12 weeks out of 38 weeks in each academic year: FSM Sales over 24 months 16,000 GBP Pupil Paid Meal Sales over 24 months 427,000 GBP Staff Duty Meal Sales over 24 months 8,000 GBP Staff Cash Sales over 24 months 8,000 GBP Hospitality Sales over 24 months 9,000 GBP Service Times Breakfast (not a club): 08:00 - 08:45 Break: 09:45 - 10:05 / 10:50 - 11:10 Lunch: 12:10 - 12:35 for Yrs 7,8 & 9 / 12:45 - 13:10 for Yrs 10,11,12 & 13 Locked in Policy: Yes for Yrs 7-11 Current Contractor Accent Renewal: Renewal after 3 years is possible subject to satisfactory performance ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003988-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 25 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ST JOAN OF ARC CATHOLIC SCHOOL | | Locality | RICKMANSWORTH | | Post town | Watford | | Postcode | WD3 1HG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Three Rivers | | Electoral ward | Rickmansworth Town | | Westminster constituency | South West Hertfordshire | | Delivery location | TLH23 Hertfordshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55524000 - School catering services ## Release History - 11 Feb 2022 at 12:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003988-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.mytenders.co.uk - http://www.rmandcconsultants.co.uk - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-procurement-review-service-scope-and-remit - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=225351 - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA9341 - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
