In plain English
Pontarddulais Comprehensive School in Swansea is hiring a catering supplier to feed approximately 850 pupils and staff. The contract is worth around £300,000 per year for an initial three-year term starting September 2027, with a possible three-year extension by mutual agreement.
What the buyer wants
• Provide complete catering services for the school including meal preparation, service, and nutrition management • Operate on a guaranteed performance basis with a fixed annual return and/or subsidy structure • Cater for approximately 850 pupils (17% entitled to free school meals) plus staff, with ability to serve pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities
Likely requirements

This contract requires substantial catering infrastructure, experience feeding 850+ people daily, and the financial stability to operate on a guaranteed subsidy model; most solo traders or small two-person operations will lack the capacity, staffing, and working capital needed.
