About

The Litmus Partnership Ltd awarded a contract to ABM Catering Ltd for the provision of catering services at The John of Gaunt School, a secondary school in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.

The contract, valued at £600,000, covers breakfast, break, lunch, all hospitality, and free issue requirements, with free school meals and hospitality charged based on consumption at net food cost.

The initial term is for 3 years from 1 September 2019 to 31 August 2022, with scope to extend annually thereafter, operating as a guaranteed performance contract with a guaranteed return/cost per annum and sovereignty of the cash tariff remaining with the client.

The academic year comprises 195 days, with 5 staff professional development days, and the supplier is expected to provide catering services for at least 3 of those 5 days.

The client prioritises value for money but is not obliged to accept the lowest price, and expects the supplier to deliver an innovative, healthy food service using fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients prepared on-site, supporting the school's values and the principles of every child matters.
