Lot 2: Programme Management of Food and Standards (FPM) This Organisation will have overall responsibility for the successful coordination and management of food required for the programme. The OPM will be responsible for managing the FPM to ensure that all programme attendees receive at least one meal a day that meets food safety and School Food Standards. The OPM will need to work closely with the FPM to review the food offer available via the Activity Providers, following each grant round and plan for the provision of meals through the central food supply. FPM will be required to commission the local food provider(s) and logistically manage the distribution of the central food supply. The details of these requirements are set out the corresponding service specification for Lot 2.
