Catering Service Contracts for Three Leicester Primary Schools

Three primary schools in Leicester are seeking qualified catering contractors to provide food services starting August 2026. This follows the planned closure of Leicestershire Traded Services' catering department. The schools are conducting a collaborative procurement process to identify suitable suppliers, with each school retaining the independent right to select and contract with their chosen provider. Schools may consider continued collaboration with providers if proposals offer compelling value and service benefits. This represents an opportunity for catering companies to tender for multiple school contracts while potentially establishing long-term partnerships with educational institutions.
