## Summary

The Bohunt Education Trust, based in Liphook, Hampshire, has completed the tendering stage for a comprehensive catering services contract across its network of schools located in Berkshire, Hampshire, and West Sussex. Under the procurement method of an open, competitive flexible procedure, Accent Catering Services Ltd has been identified as the successful supplier. The contract, valued at approximately £19,000,000, covers services from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2029, with the potential for extensions. The contract is designed to deliver high-quality catering services across 10 schools, ensuring consistent standards aligned with the Trust's expectations. Schools involved include notable institutions like Bohunt School in Liphook and The Petersfield School. Key post-award activities, such as the standstill period and future contract signature, are scheduled in May and June 2026, respectively.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in high-quality school catering services. With an annual revenue potential of approximately £3.8 million, the contract is lucrative for established catering suppliers with experience in managing large-scale operations. The procurement process encourages initiative and innovation, inviting suppliers capable of providing consistent and high standards of food service across multiple locations. The process is particularly well-suited for large catering providers due to the contractual obligations and scale involved, though SMEs were considered during the tendering stage. The contract's focus on engagement through digital platforms also opens avenues for businesses experienced in interactive customer communication strategies.
