The proposed contract will be for the delivery of a hot lunchtime meal service for 5 primary schools located within the Wigan area: 3366 (DfES Number) St. Peter's CE Hindley - Kildare Street, Hindley, Wigan WN2 3HY 3364 (DfES Number) Hindley Green St John’s CE Junior and Infants – Atherton Road, Hindley Green, Wigan WN2 4SD 2032 (DfES Number) Hindley Green Community Primary – Thomas Street, Hindley Green, Wigan WN2 4SS 3360 (DfES Number) St. John's CE Primary – Simpkin Street, Abram, Wigan WN2 5QE 3436 (DfES Number) Platt Bridge Community School – Rivington Avenue, Platt Bridge, Wigan WN2 5NG The schools are keen to promote local source and sustainability and it is expected that mainly fresh vegetables will be used and mainly British products; but the schools realise that local sourcing and organic products could be difficult to fund. It is essential that the menus comply with the Government food and nutritional standards. The schools will also require involvement from the successful contractor in curriculum activities, such as possible grow ‘clubs’ and participation in cookery clubs and PTA events. The schools see that the midday meals service will be part of a whole school approach to their healthier school programme. ### Mark Holden and Angela Eccles ### Children's Transformation Team People Directorate: Children, Adults & Families ### PO Box 100 ### Wigan Council Wigan Life Centre South College Avenue ### Wigan, WN1 1NJ ### Tel: 01942 486 260 / 01942 486 192 E-mail: / Read full description ## CPV classification Food, beverages, tobacco and related products Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/c19bda35-adc9-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
