Highworth Grammar School is a successful 11-18 selective girls’ school including 80 boys in the sixth form. The school is widely recognised as being innovative and highly successful. During the June 2013 Ofsted inspection, the school was judged to be an outstanding school. In 2019 our A level results placed us in the top 25% of schools nationally. The school was previously granted speciality status for music and became an Academy in 2011.
The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of service not only within the existing facilities, but also by developing and extending the service available to the 1,535 students on roll and 155 teaching and support staff. The school would wish the successful contractor to review the current range of services offered and make recommendations accordingly.
The contract being tendered is for a minimum of three years in duration from 1 August 2024 and will operate as a Guaranteed Performance Contract, with the successful Contractor offering the school additional investment and a guaranteed return for the provision of catering services.
The number of days when the school will be open to students will be close to 190 days but varies depending on the spread of the term dates. It will typically be between 185 and 190 days (187 in 2023/24). On staff development days (5 in 2023/24) hospitality is required, as lunch will be provided for staff.
The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the school, which currently includes morning break, lunch, all hospitality and free issue requirements. Free School meals and hospitality will be charged based on consumption and at net food cost.
Whilst the School prioritises value for money as a key objective of the Competitive Tender Process, the Governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price.
