School Catering Services Framework Agreement
The contract establishes a school catering services framework agreement for schools, academies, trusts and other educational establishments, with Moorlands Learning Trust acting as the buying organisation in the education sector. Catering providers will be expected to deliver food and related catering services under call-off contracts for participating educational establishments, with the initial call-off bodies comprising ten primary schools identified in the tender documents and divided across the relevant lots. The framework is open to establishments across North and West Yorkshire, although specific delivery sites and the estimated total contract value have not been published. The contract duration and overall timeframe are also not stated in the available information. The critical financial qualification is that each bidding provider must demonstrate annual turnover of at least four times the estimated annual contract value of the individual initial call-off body for which it bids, assessed separately for each call-off rather than against the combined framework value.
