In plain English
West Midlands Academy Trust wants a contractor to run school catering at Kings Norton Girls' School and Hall Green School in Birmingham. The contract runs for 3 years from 1 August 2027, with an option to extend for a further one plus one years, and the estimated value is £1,723,917.
What the buyer wants
• Provide catering services at both Kings Norton Girls' School and Hall Green School • Meet agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which are measurable targets, from Day One of the contract • Deliver the service for 3 years from 1 August 2027, with an option to extend by one plus one years
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no explicit eligibility criteria, but a £1.7 million three-year contract covering two schools, with performance targets applying from day one, may favour established catering businesses with proven capacity, so very small firms could be ruled out in practice.
Always check the tender documents.
