For over 100 years the young women of Hackney have had the opportunity to achieve academic success through attending the school now known as Clapton Girls' Academy. In the early 1820's Hackney School, which resided on the present CGA site, was demolished and replaced by the London Orphan Asylum in 1826. The school now known as Clapton Girls' Academy has existed without a break since 1906. Throughout the school's history names and buildings have changed but the school's aim has always been the same: To provide a safe environment which will help local girls become well-educated, strong, confident and tolerant women. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of service within the existing facilities for the 1185 students on roll and 140 teaching and support staff, with a focus on exciting new food concepts to satisfy a wide range of pupil tastes and dietary requirements. The School would wish the successful contractor to review the current range of services offered and make recommendations accordingly. The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 2024 to 2027 and will operate as a Guaranteed Performance Contract, with the successful Contractor offering the School a guaranteed return / cost per annum for the provision of catering services. We run a cashless system and this needs to be in consideration as the academy is not looking to move away from this. The School year is based on a calendar of 195 days. Five days are to be used for staff professional development which means that School will be open to receive students for the legal minimum of 190 days. The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the School, which currently includes morning break, lunch, all hospitality and free issue requirements. Free School meals and hospitality will be charged based on consumption and at net food cost. Whilst the School prioritises value for money as a key objective of the Competitive Tender Process, the Governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price. The value of the current contract is: - Cash salesPS395,225.55 Free School Meals PS137,109.00 HospitalityPS14,432.83 TotalPS546,767.38 Clapton Girls' Academy expects the successful contractor to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared on-site. The School expects the successful tenderer to evidence, through their bid, how they shall support and complement its values and support the principles of Every Child Matters. The School believes that success should be celebrated and that pupils should enjoy their time at school; if lessons are stimulating and challenging then students will love learning. Much time therefore, is spent reviewing and planning schemes of work to ensure that they are differentiated to meet the needs of all students. As a result, the School are very enthusiastic regarding work experience and apprenticeship proposals and would welcome the input of the successful Contractor. As a school who are continually seeking ways to improve and develop the ethos and environment for students and staff, to give them the facilities they deserve and need to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, any consideration regarding inward capital investment as part of the Contractor's tender submission would be welcomed. The School would wish for the Contractor to look at making this investment within the existing dining area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019135-2023 | | 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 | 5 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 15 Sep 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2024 - 31 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £546,767 | | Lots value | £546,767 | | 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 | CLAPTON GIRLS' ACADEMY | | Locality | LOWER CLAPTON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E5 0RB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Hackney | | Electoral ward | Lea Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Hackney North and Stoke Newington | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55524000 - School catering services ## Release History - 5 Jul 2023 at 11:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019135-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://litmustms.co.uk/respond/T25533NJMN - https://litmustms.co.uk/tenders/UK-UK-Lower-Clapton:-School-catering-services./T25533NJMN - https://www.claptongirlsacademy.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
