In plain English

Two secondary schools are running a joint market test to find one catering company to provide school meals at both sites. The estimated total value is £3,600,000, and the winning supplier will hold a separate contract with each school.

What the buyer wants

• Provide catering services to both secondary schools under the same single supplier • Deliver under a separate contract with each school • Compete in a market test, with one supplier chosen at the end of the process

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no specific eligibility criteria, but it asks for a single supplier to cover two schools with a combined estimated value of £3.6 million, which would likely rule out small businesses that cannot deliver catering at that scale across both sites.

Always check the tender documents.
