The estimated contract value is £24,000,000. The tender is classified under the industry category 'Food, beverages, tobacco and related products'. The process is currently in the planning stage, and a market engagement event is scheduled for 18th July 2023 to gather information from suppliers. This tender opportunity is ideal for businesses involved in supplying healthy food products to school breakfast clubs. The Department for Education is seeking innovative purchasing solutions to maximise individual school spending. The procurement process aims to support schools in providing nutritious breakfasts, and suppliers need to adhere to the Authorities School Food Standards. Businesses with experience in cafeteria services and supplying food products compliant with education standards are encouraged to participate in this opportunity for growth and collaboration. ## Notice Attending a school breakfast club and eating a nutritious breakfast can help to better support pupil attainment and attendance, wellbeing, and readiness to learn. The Authority is considering options for the provision of food to school-run breakfast clubs. In pursuance of this, the Authority is seeking information from suppliers in order to help inform the options available to the Authority in regard to how healthy food supplies can be delivered to breakfast clubs in schools across England. The Authority will be holding a market engagement event. This will support the Authority in the development and review of future requirements which support schools in providing breakfast provision. This will include consideration of engagement and support to schools in the programme and delivery of food provision. These elements may be combined or split into separate requirements. Please note that there may be both ambient and chilled food provision required. In order to deliver value for money DfE are looking for innovative purchasing solutions to maximise individual school spending. The purchasing may utilise existing market routes and will be funded centrally to remove the need for additional logistical / administration provisions. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Nature and quantity of works, supplies, or services or indication of needs and requirements: The existing National School Breakfast Programme supports schools in disadvantaged areas to establish or enhance their provision of nutritious breakfasts, on a value for money basis.
