## Summary

The Respect Collaboration Trust has announced an open procurement for the provision of an outsourced catering service, focusing on school catering services under the CPV code 55524000. This opportunity is set in Derby, UK, with services to be delivered across the UKF1 region. The process is currently in the tender stage, and interested parties need to submit their tenders by 10th June 2026 at 12:00 BST.

The contract begins on 1st September 2026 and spans three years with an option for an extension. The total contract value has been amended to £750,000 gross, making this a substantial opportunity for potential suppliers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) already operating in the catering sector. Businesses that can demonstrate a competent mix of high-quality service, a strong economic standing, and relevant past experience will stand out in the evaluation process, which emphasizes service quality (60%) and competitive pricing. SMEs with a proven track record in handling similar contracts and a willingness to adapt services across multiple sites within the Trust will find this opportunity particularly advantageous.
