## Summary

The Council of the City of Wakefield is planning a procurement process for the provision of a Schools Catering Service, aimed at supplying school meals to maintained schools across the Wakefield district. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a relevant planned procurement notice published on 25th May 2025. The contracting period is expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2029. Key dates include the future notice date on 1st August 2025.
