What is being bought

Published requirement description

Norfolk County Council is seeking to gauge the interest of experienced catering providers in relation to a school meals catering service for maintained schools in Norfolk. Due to a significant proportion of smaller primary schools in Norfolk, many of which lack cooking facilities of their own, the Council has facilitated a group catering arrangement to ensure that provision is available to all maintained schools, irrespective of size and available facilities. There are approximately 100 schools across Norfolk receiving provision through current arrangements, worth in the region of £5m p/a. Governing bodies of maintained schools are free to choose whether they opt in, with schools signing a Service Level Agreement to access provision.
