The work is divided by school, so suppliers can focus on one or more school requirements. The service is intended to deliver consistent-quality catering across the contract term. This is a school catering services contract, procured by Educo Consultancy & Facilities Management on behalf of the schools. Delivery is at the three named schools in Haringey, London. The buyer invited offers through a single-stage, open competitive tender. The three school lots each have an initial contract period from 26 March 2027 to 25 March 2030, with two possible one-year extensions. The stated estimated values are £615,600 for Devonshire Hill, £784,890 for Lea Valley and £777,195 for Tetherdown, excluding VAT. Questions were due by 11 November 2026 at 17:00, and bids by 25 November 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was expected by 29 January 2027. For each lot, evaluation gives 50% to the operational response, 40% to the financial proposal and 10% to the organisation’s financial status. Offers may be submitted electronically in English. The opportunity suits school catering providers able to run a dependable term-time meal service and demonstrate how their operations match the needs of each school. Suppliers should be prepared to explain their operational approach and submit a financial proposal for the schools, alongside information about their organisation’s financial position. The separate school lots allow providers to target the sites that fit their service capacity, while bidders seeking a broader contract can address more than one school. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable. The stated focus is on consistent service quality throughout the contract, so relevant experience delivering reliable primary-school meals and the operational resources to maintain that standard are commercially pertinent. ## Notice Educo Consultancy & Facilities Management are completing a single stage competitive tendering procedure for the catering services on behalf of Devonshire Hill Nursery and Primary School; Lea Valley Primary School and Tetherdown Primary School located in the London Borough of Haringey.
