The contract/s covers the scope for the provision of all school catering services, which also includes free issue requirements. Contract value over the group of schools is circa GBP 750 000 per year. See also II.1.4) Short description The tender will be managed on a group basis; however, each school will be required to have their individual operational budget and contract and may wish to appoint the supplier they would like for their particular school. As the contract will not therefore necessarily be awarded on a group basis, suppliers will have the option to show additional financial benefits on a separate upload if one or more schools were to be awarded to one supplier. Regarding the labour establishments across the cluster, there are a number of staff that are currently in the local government pension scheme and staff that can join if they so wish. One type of contract is included within the ITT where all staff will transfer to the successful supplier/s; therefore, the successful supplier/s will have to apply for admitted body status and pay all setup associated costs. An actuary report will be provided as part of the TUPE information, but it is not guaranteed that the successful supplier/s will not need to obtain another actuary report as part of the ABS process — the cost of any additional actuary report/s will need to be covered by the successful supplier/s, as stated above. After the 10-day standstill period, suppliers must contact Calvin Matthews via email (cmatthews@cornwall.gov.uk) so that the ABS agreement can proceed. Please ensure that the pension contribution rates and information from the actuary reports are used when in the submission of labour costs. Please note, the successful supplier/s will pay a proportion of the consultancy fee on award of each of this contract, which will be to the value of GBP 750.00 plus VAT per primary school and GBP 1 500.00 plus VAT per secondary school. The contract/s will be awarded for 3 years with a possible extension of 2 years by mutual consent and on the same terms and conditions as the original contract/s. Please note a selection of schools will be visited over 3 days on 11, 12 and 13 February 2020. Suppliers are to arrive at the relevant school’s reception 15 minutes prior to mid-morning break. Suppliers will leave site after mid-morning break and return 10 minutes prior to lunch service. Please note that no further unit site visits will be held after these dates. Each suppliers’ site visit attendees will need to be notified to Ruth Lile in respect of all dates by 20 January 2020. Suppliers’ sales and operations teams should be made fully aware of this requirement for them to have time to plan resources for these visits to be undertaken.
