The successful tenderer will be required to provide catering services at Lighthouse Schools Partnership.

The successful tenderer will be required to provide all catering services within the Trust, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements.

The Lighthouse Schools Partnership is a recently established Multi Academy Trust (MAT) which includes currently the following properties where the successful contractor will be required to deliver a service and meet the requirements of the specification from the contract commencement. The Schools which currently form the Trust are:

— High Down Schools (both Junior and Infant Schools),

— St Mary's CEVA Primary School,

— St Peters C of E primary School,

— Portishead Primary School.

The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.4.2017 until 31.3.2020, with the option to extend for a further term and will be guaranteed performance in nature. The Multi Academy Trust is expected to grow in the number of schools becoming part of the trust during this contract period, and the provision of catering services within these schools when they have joined the MAT will fall under the scope of this contract. The successful contractor will be expected to provide this service within these additional schools using the same costing model, ratios etc. that they applied to their successful tender submission for the Lighthouse Schools Partnership at the point of tender submission. The duration of contract for these schools will not be increased and they will join the contract for the remaining contract period that exists at the point of entry into the MAT.
