Description

Ellis Guilford School in Nottingham, is an inclusive School with a diverse range of students and staff, who benefit from a superb ‘state of the art’ building which opened in September 2012, providing excellent learning facilities for students. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of service within the existing facilities for the 1 350 students on roll and 150 teaching and support staff, all of whom have a focus on the introduction of exciting new food concepts to satisfy a wide range of Secondary Student tastes and dietary requirements. 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 three years in duration from 1 August 2017 and will operate as a Guaranteed Performance Contract, with the successful Contractor offering the School a guaranteed cost per annum for the provision of catering services. Sovereignty of the cash tariff is to remain with Ellis Guilford School for the duration of this contract. The School year is based on a calendar of 195 days. Five days are to be used for staff professional development which means that School will be open to receive students for the legal minimum of 190 days. The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the School, which currently includes breakfast club, 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. The value of the current contract, from August 2016 — July 2017 was circa: Cash sales: 172 500 GBP. Free School Meal / Client Issue Sales: 65 000 GBP. 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. Ellis Guilford School expects the successful contractor to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared on-site. The School expects the successful tenderer to evidence, through their bid, how they shall support and complement its values and support the principles of Keeping Children Safe in Education. The School believes that success should be celebrated and that pupils should enjoy their time at school; if lessons are stimulating and challenging then students will love learning. Much time therefore, is spent reviewing and planning schemes of work to ensure that they are differentiated to meet the needs of all students. As a result, the School are very enthusiastic regarding work experience and apprenticeship proposals and would welcome the input of the successful Contractor. As a school who are continually seeking ways to improve and develop the ethos and environment for students and staff, to give them the facilities they deserve and need to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, any consideration regarding inward capital investment as part of the Contractor's tender submission would be welcomed. The School would wish for the Contractor to look at making this investment within the existing dining area, with attention being given to the further upgrade of the current cashless system if necessary, counter layout and furnishings and the implementation of a procedure that would assist in producing a reduction of current queuing times. The School's objectives: — To further increase the standards of fresh food provision. — To further increase the standard of service for all customers. — To receive a consistently high quality catering provision. — To generate a further improved dining environment for all students. — To receive proactive management support for the catering team, in order to retain a full complement of motivated staff. — To hold regular review meetings with the successful contractor. — To achieve overall value for money. Unless the contract is extended at the end of year three, any undepreciated investment at the end of year three will novate to the new contract term.
