About

Leicester City Council awarded a contract to Soil Associations Limited for the Healthy Eating Initiatives 2017 programme, which aimed to build on the achievements of the existing healthy eating programme that supported schools in creating a 'pro-food' ethos and developing knowledge and awareness of the integral part food and a whole school approach plays in children's health, wellbeing, and attainment.

The focus was on raising standards and knowledge among staff and pupils in areas such as food growing, nutrition, food safety, shopping, and understanding of where food comes from and its link with environmental sustainability.

By making healthy food the norm, the service sought to increase healthy eating behaviours, improve school meals and uptake, positively impact health and well-being, contribute to better educational attainment and attendance, and lead to lasting health benefits.

The procurement was conducted as a one-stage open process under Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for social and other specific services.

The contract value was AUD 500,000.
