## Summary

Islip Manor High School is seeking a provider to deliver school catering services at its secondary school in Northolt, Ealing. The school moved into a purpose-built building in April 2026, with capacity for approximately 1,200 pupils. The requirement is for catering at the school; the buyer is Islip Manor High School. This is a single-lot service contract, with the lot marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The procurement is being managed with support from RM&C Consultants Ltd, which provides tender-management services to schools and trusts.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure. The first stage uses a supplier questionnaire (SQ): responses are scored against the advertised template, and up to five suppliers meeting the pass mark may be invited to interview and proceed to the invitation-to-tender stage, provided at least five suitable suppliers pass. Enquiries and expressions of interest were due by 11 November 2026 at 13:00. The award decision was scheduled by 19 April 2027. The contract is due to run from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030, with a possible renewal after three years for up to two further years, subject to satisfactory performance. The published estimated value is £1. The SQ and its scoring example explain how responses are assessed; bids may be submitted in English electronically by email or through the mytenders portal.

This opportunity is for a catering supplier able to provide services in a secondary-school setting serving a school with capacity for approximately 1,200 pupils. The buyer’s procedure expects suppliers first to complete the SQ Part 2 document and demonstrate that they meet its pass mark; only a limited number may proceed to interview and the later tender stage. The stated scoring example is the reference for understanding how the SQ response will score. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller catering businesses may compete, provided they can meet the SQ requirements and deliver the school catering service. The requirement suits providers with the operational capability to serve a school community at this scale and maintain satisfactory performance across the contract and any renewal.
