The brief

The successful tenderer will be required to provide catering services at Joseph Leckie Academy.

The duration of the contract being offered is 3 years initially, commencing on 1.4.2016, with the option of a 2 year extension.

The catering service provision at Joseph Leckie Academy has not been market tested in recent years and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Head Teacher and Academy Governors have made a decision to tender the catering service.

Current roll numbers on roll are 1 146 students plus up to an additional 200 sixth formers.

There are 190 teaching and support staff who do not currently use the facility.

Current turnover figures are approximately 236 000 GBP per annum including Free School Meals and it should be noted that the Academy has a very stringent gated policy.

Current uptake levels are above 50 % and the Academy firmly believes that with improved choice and quality there is a real opportunity to increase this level of uptake.

For the avoidance of doubt TUPE Regulations will apply to this contract and all current catering staff are in the (LGPS) Local Government Pension Scheme.

The successful contractor will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month, thus updating the senior management team within the Academy on contract performance.

It is imperative that an open book policy is offered to ensure the Academy has total clarity on financial performance.

The Academy is seeking both innovation and the application of current food trends 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 contractor going forward.
