In plain English
St Michael's CE High School in Chorley, Lancashire is looking for a supplier to run its school catering. The contract is worth about £3 million over five years in total.
What the buyer wants
• Provide catering services for St Michael's CE High School in Chorley, Lancashire. • Deliver the service for an initial 3-year term, with the option to extend for a further 1 year and then another 1 year. • Respond through the Litmus eSourcing portal and read the PSQ document, which the notice refers to for more information.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state any minimum turnover, insurance, certification or experience requirements, so the PSQ document would need checking, but a £3 million catering contract over five years is a large commitment that a very small business may struggle to deliver alone.
Always check the tender documents.
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.
Where to apply
The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
