Offering frequent themed menus and initiatives that support the curriculum and various school led activities, ensuring the food offer remains varied and enticing to its customers. 3.The development of the multiple service outlets across the School to reduce queuing times for students and encourage more to use the various facilities. 4.A suitable, effective marketing campaign that should be promoted externally to both pupils and parents alike. 5.All meals should be based on the use of fresh ingredients and bakery products, making use of the abundant, local supply chain within Cornwall. It is expected that experienced and insightful contract management will promote good levels of communication and engagement with the Trust and individual Schools. A suitable marketing campaign to the students, staff and parents alike is imperative to promote the uptake of meals. This enhanced service should be supported by a well-trained catering team at the school, with a focus by the successful contractor on both craft training and customer service. There needs to be total transparency with accounts that are clear and easy to understand. The monthly invoice should be supported by a breakdown of the contract's financial performance against budget. To achieve overall value for money is an objective of this tender.
