## Summary

Montgomery Primary School procured school catering services for Montgomery Primary School in Exeter. The work was awarded through a further competition under the 879 building-in-use support services dynamic purchasing system, with the school as the buyer. This is a school food-service requirement, rather than a general building-support contract: the scope recorded is catering services for the primary school. The delivery location is Exeter. The procurement was organised as a single lot, covering the school catering requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Aspens Services Ltd. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The contract was signed on 12 June 2026, with a value of £445,004.70. The competition used a restricted procedure under a selective procurement method and was run as a further competition through the 879 support-services dynamic purchasing system. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, quality at 30%, delivery and customer service at 20%, and added value at 10%. The lot record says the contract could be extended on a 1+1-year basis. One bid was recorded. The lot itself is marked cancelled, despite the active award and contract records.

For catering providers, this award shows Montgomery Primary School’s demand for a dedicated school catering service, competed through its 879 building-in-use support-services purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate dependable food-service delivery in a primary-school setting, strong service quality, effective customer service and added value, while remaining competitive on price. Price carried substantial weight, but quality and service together accounted for most of the evaluation, so a low-cost offer alone would not match the stated assessment. Providers should be equipped to serve the school’s operational needs reliably and evidence how their service improves the offer for pupils and the school. The selected supplier was a large company, indicating the scale of provider that secured this award, although the procurement does not set a supplier-size requirement.
