## Summary

Charlton Kings Infants' School in Cheltenham procured catering services for the school, described as the provision of catering services and classified as school catering services (CPV 55524000). The requirement covers the school’s catering operation rather than the supply of standalone goods. The buyer is Charlton Kings Infants' School, with Place Group Ltd acting as procurement agent on its behalf. Delivery is associated with the school in Cheltenham. This is a public-sector education catering requirement under the light-touch regime, and it was organised as a single requirement rather than being divided into several separately described service areas. The selected service concerns the day-to-day delivery of catering to an infant school and is relevant to businesses providing managed school meals or comparable education-sector catering services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a framework, without a competitive call-off. Harrison Catering Services was awarded the contract on 28 August 2026. The award value is £729,305.50 excluding VAT, or £875,166.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with the client able to extend it for two further one-year periods, up to 31 August 2031. A future contract signature milestone was scheduled for 17 September 2026. There was one completed lot. The award is active, and the published award record includes a correction to the contract value. The evaluation basis is not set out beyond the selective framework award route.

This award shows sustained demand from a primary education setting for a managed school catering service delivered at substantial contract scale. A supplier competing for comparable work from this buyer would need to provide reliable school catering operations, including the capacity to serve an infant-school environment consistently over a multi-year arrangement. The successful supplier was a large catering business, so relevant organisational capacity and the ability to manage an established public-sector service are useful indicators of competitiveness. Businesses should also understand framework-based purchasing, because this requirement was awarded under a framework rather than through an open standalone competition. School catering specialists with public-sector delivery capability, dependable operational resources and experience maintaining service continuity are the closest fit for future requirements of this kind.
