Cornwall Cluster - Secondary and Primary Schools - Catering Services

Tender description

The successful tenderer will be required to provide catering services to the following schools: • Hayle Community School • Penrice Academy • St Ives School • Treviglas Community College • Penair School • Mounts Bay Academy • Mawgan-in-Pydar Primary School • St Stephen Churchtown Primary School • Cubert Primary School • Upton Cross Primary School • St Kew Primary School • Mevagissey Community Primary School • Lostwithiel School • Alverton Primary School Currently there are 6 secondary schools (5 contracted-out and 1 self-operated ~ Penair School) and 8 primary schools (all contracted-out) within the Cluster. There could be a number of other secondary and primary schools joining in the tender process. This cannot be guaranteed at this stage but will be communicated as soon as confirmed. The tender will be managed on a group basis, however each school will be required to have their individual operational budget and contract and may wish to appoint the contractor they would like for their particular school. As the contract will not therefore necessarily be awarded on a group basis, contractors will have the option to show additional financial benefits on a separate upload if one of more schools were to be awarded to one contractor. The contract covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the schools, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements. The term of the contract for most of the schools will be three years, with the option to extend up to five years, with the exception of Hayle, St Ives and Treviglas which are inviting proposals for longer periods ~ to a maximum of ten years ~ where this enables a higher level of capital investment. Please be aware other schools might also wish to look at this option too. Please note the key dates within the timetable as you might need to allow for additional resources for the unit visits on 3 & 4 February 2016.
