Description

Thomas Tallis School (The Contracting Authority) invites tenders for the full supply of catering services to The Royal Borough of Greenwich Schools via a single-supplier framework agreement, based upon the terms and conditions contained in this Tender Specification. The Framework agreement allows potentially all Local Education Authority (LEA) schools to join.

Thomas Tallis School is acting a central purchasing body conducting the procurement on behalf of itself and these other schools. The schools listed in the pricing documentation are intending to award call-off contracts on the establishment of the framework.

The process will award two separate single-supplier framework agreements, one for primary & nursery schools and the other for secondary schools needs.

The Contracting Authority for this OJEU Restricted Procedure will initially be Thomas Tallis School, who are a member of the Greenwich Community Schools Partnership (GCSP). The GCSP are setting up a Community Interest Company (CIC) yet to be named which we expect to be established and in place to award the frameworks at the end of this process. The Contracting Authority also reserves the right to award the frameworks and then to novate them to the CIC via a deed of novation.
