Tender: Catering Services Contract for Greensand Multi Academy Trust – 10 Schools (Sep 2026–Sep 2029)

About

Greensand Multi Academy Trust is seeking a supplier for on-site catering services across its ten-school Trust in Surrey and West Sussex to serve 4,202 students and approximately 750 teaching and support staff. The contract (initial three years from September 2026 to September 2029, let on a 3 + 2 years basis) is a Guaranteed Performance Contract requiring the contractor to provide all catering within existing facilities — including lunch, hospitality and free issue requirements — with free school meals and hospitality charged at net food cost and sovereignty of the cash tariff remaining with the schools. The Trust wants innovative, healthy food concepts prepared on-site using fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, recommendations on current service range, support for healthy eating and sustainability, and is open to work experience, apprenticeship proposals and inward capital investment in existing dining areas; note that Reigate School has limited breakfast provision but full capacity at lunch and breaktimes and the school year comprises 195 days with 5 staff development days (190 student days). The Trust previously used Twelve15 and served notice prior to that supplier’s reduction in operations.
