- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
The successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering services for Dare Royd and Mackie Hill Junior and Infant Schools.
The expected annual value is £129,000 with a contract length of 3 years plus optional 2 x 1-year extensions.
Dane Royd and Mackie Hill are independent schools who work together for the benefit of the community they serve. Both schools wish to appoint a suitably qualified contractor to deliver the school catering requirement, but also who will take an interest in the school, the pupils’ educational activity and the community. Whilst the winning contractor will contract with each school separately, the schools will not appoint separate contractors following completion of this process.
Dane Royd has 360 pupils, including nursery, its values are Perseverance; Respectful; Open- Minded; Understanding; Determined; (PROUD). The school has a stand-alone kitchen service healthy and nutritious meals to their pupils. They have outsourced the meal provision to a catering contractor and is coming to the end of a 5-year contract. The school requires a new contract to commence on 1st August 2027.
Mackie Hill has 172 pupils; relationships are at the heart of everything they do. They place a strong emphasis on wellbeing, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued and understood. Alongside this nurturing approach, they hold high expectations of both their children and our staff - in behaviour, presentation and effort – because they believe that children flourish when they are supported to aim high.
The school motto, “kind hearts, ambitious minds,” captures their vision perfectly. They are committed to developing kind, compassionate young people with strong self-esteem, curiosity and the motivation to achieve the very best they can. They want their children not only to succeed academically, but also to grow into thoughtful, confident members of society.
Mackie Hill meal service is prepared and cooked at Dane Royd, then transported to Mackie Hill.
