## Summary

The Vanessa Nursery School, located in London, is currently conducting a tender for catering services aimed at its nursery students. The procurement, classified under "school catering services" within the services category, is in the active stage of the tender process, with a submission deadline set for 2nd August 2022. The successful bidder will have the opportunity to serve a variety of up to 86 nursery students and should deliver meals adhering to specific dietary requirements, including vegetarian options. The procurement follows a selective method, reflecting a more restricted procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for catering companies looking to expand their client base within the education sector. Businesses specialising in school meal provision, particularly those with experience in meeting dietary needs and delivering high-quality service, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The chance to secure a long-term agreement with a public institution such as Vanessa Nursery School could facilitate sustainable growth and open further avenues for partnership with similar educational establishments in the region.

## Notice

This cluster of 13 schools are putting their catering services out to tender. You will be bidding for each School individually and the Schools will be able to select their preferred company from the companies shortlisted to make presentations. There is no requirement for the Schools to choose the same provider.
