## Summary

The Agora Learning Partnership and Inclusive MAT are jointly tendering their catering contracts for primary schools. The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, involves selecting one catering company for each trust from the final three bidders. The contract duration is 1800 days with the possibility of renewal after three years. The tender deadline is set for February 12, 2024, with the second stage invitation date on March 4, 2024. The procurement method is selective with a restricted procedure, and the tender covers school catering services in the Hertfordshire region.

This tender for school catering services presents an opportunity for catering companies seeking long-term contracts in the education sector. Businesses experienced in providing catering services to schools, with the capacity to serve multiple locations, would be well-suited to compete. The opportunity to secure contracts for multiple primary schools presents a significant growth potential for catering companies looking to expand their client portfolio. The procurement process values quality service provision and long-term partnerships with the trusts involved, offering a stable revenue stream for successful bidders.

## Notice

The Agora Learning Partnership and Inclusive MAT are putting their catering contracts out to tender for their primary schools, as a joint procurement, but two lots. Each Trust will select one preferred catering company from the final three for all of their schools ( 9 for ALP and 3 for IMAT).
