In plain English
Trafford Council wants a provider to help schools and early years settings (nurseries and childcare for young children) make the food around children healthier. The work covers school food standards, school meal uptake, and building the council's understanding of food and nutrition in early years settings. The council is splitting this into two lots, and it may award both to one provider or to separate providers.
What the buyer wants
• Support schools to improve their food environments, strengthen how the School Food Standards are followed, and increase take-up of school meals (Lot 1). • Develop Trafford's understanding of food environments in early years settings and support lasting improvements in food and nutrition practice (Lot 2). • Work collaboratively if separate providers are appointed, so that the approach is coherent across Trafford. Partnerships and consortia are welcome.
Lots
- Lot 1 - Healthy School Food Environments
- Lot 2 - Early Years Food Environments
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice does not state any specific requirement that would rule out a small business, but the scope covers Trafford's schools and early years settings across two lots, so a single small firm would need the capacity to deliver across the whole area unless it bids as part of a partnership or consortium.
