The school is an academy in Worcester and it is a co-educational school and Science College with about 1350 students on roll. The school campus is located on the edge of Worcester surrounded by some 15 acres of gardens and playing fields which it shares with the adjacent 6th Form College. The school has benefited over recent years with an ongoing refurbishment programme or purpose built extensions including science facilities, English, Music, Art and Design, Languages and ICT. The school catering service provision has never been market tested to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Principal, Sponsors and School Governors have made a decision to tender the catering service provision. Current turnover value is circa 315 000 GBP per annum. However, this includes approximately 74 000 GBP of sales generated through a daily meal delivery service to 3 local primary schools. At this moment in time the Client does not know if these schools wish to be included in this tender exercise but a definite outcome will be included within the tender specification. The catering staff are currently employed directly by the Client and the successful Supplier will need to consider ABS provision regarding the current LPGS pension arrangements. TUPE Regulations including pension rights where applicable will apply to this contract. The Client is seeking both innovation and the application of current service initiatives within the catering industry within the tender submissions and would expect as a result of this to be able to identify "Best Value" and work in partnership with the chosen Supplier going forward. The Client's philosophy is to Aspire, Strive, Achieve and the senior management team are looking for a Supplier who can parallel these 3 key drivers to develop and maximise the catering service provision going forward into the future.
