Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no specific qualification, experience or certification criteria, but the £1.45 million value and the requirement to run catering across five schools under agreed performance targets could rule out smaller businesses without multi-site catering experience or the capacity to take on a contract of this size.
