The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2025, with the option to extend for a further term excluding the right to further extend. The contract being offered and will be guaranteed performance in nature.
The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of all catering services within the Trust. The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a new food service offer with consistent high standards of food operations across all Schools.

These new standards of operation should meet the needs of the pupils moving forwards into this contract term. The current range of foods needs to be expanded along with the service provision.

The successful contractor will be expected to provide this service within these additional schools using the same costing model, ratios etc. that they applied to their successful tender submission for the Clevedon Learning Trust at the point of tender submission. The duration of contract for these schools will not be increased and they will join the contract for the remaining contract pe
