In plain English
Two independent schools (Dane Royd and Mackie Hill) are looking for one catering contractor to provide school meals for approximately 532 pupils combined. The contract is worth around £129,000 per year and will run for 3 years with the option to extend for up to 2 additional years, starting August 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Provide prepared and cooked meals for school pupils at Dane Royd (which has its own kitchen) and Mackie Hill (where meals are transported from Dane Royd's kitchen) • Demonstrate commitment to the schools' values and community involvement, not just meal delivery • Meet all school catering standards and nutritional requirements for children
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You must have proven experience running a school catering operation or institutional kitchen; first-time caterers or small home-based food businesses will struggle to meet the scale (532 pupils daily), food safety standards, and kitchen management requirements.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
