The Schools are known as ‘The Bridge family of Schools’ and whilst they will have individual contracts, they shall award all five contracts to the same supplier, following agreement regarding ‘best value’
The contract/s cover the scope for the provision of all catering services within the schools, which also includes free issue requirements.
The current contract is temporary, for the period of a year, ending 31.12.26. There are therefore no accurate trading figures for the schools, which are being invoiced on consumption at £2.76 per meal served. Contractors shall be required to submit bids based upon their experience of sales and costs in comparable schools.
Contract value for the cluster of schools is circa £246K per annum.
The tender will be managed on a group basis; however, each school will have their own individual operational budget and contract. Suppliers are required to submit a proposal for every school in the Family and to provide a consolidated view of their overall bid submission.
