School catering services

Description

Redhill Primary School is mixed primary school based in the West Midlands, with a full roll of 210 pupils ages 4-11 from September 2019. The School catering is currently provided as regeneration of meals which are prepared offsite and the School wishes to proposals to replace the regeneration provision with a full fresh cooked on site service. The School is aware this change of approach will require investment in the catering facilities and staff, therefore its intended bidders will provide, in their tender response, the solution for the kitchen equipment and fitting. The funding for the investment required will be provided by the successful bidder and will be depreciated on a flat line basis over the core contract period.

The client will retain responsibility for payment of utilities and the operation and maintenance of core catering equipment and facilities.
