Catering Services for Lyndon Green Junior and Infant Schools

Lyndon Green Junior and Infant Schools are seeking a catering supplier to provide meal services for approximately 367 junior school pupils (ages 7-11) and the infant school population. The two schools share a single large kitchen facility currently operated in-house. This is the first competitive tender for the contract, valued at approximately £172,500. The supplier will provide breakfast, morning breaks, and lunch services at margin, plus hospitality and free issue items at net cost. Many pupils receive free school meals. The schools prioritize innovative, healthy food services using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients prepared on-site. The kitchen has previously served as a hub for delivering meals to up to three additional local schools, and the governing body would consider re-establishing this arrangement if a viable business case is presented. The schools emphasize environmental learning (including Forest School programs) and value creativity, perseverance, positivity, adventure, and hard work. Prospective suppliers should review the PSQ document for full details and application requirements.
