    Brief

    The Department for Education (DfE) is conducting a market engagement process with current school catering providers who have existing contracts with schools. This initiative is part of the DfE's efforts to enhance understanding of the school food market, especially in light of the upcoming expansion of Free School Meal eligibility to all children in households receiving Universal Credit, set to take effect in September 2026. The market engagement will take place over the next few months and is not a procurement opportunity; rather, it aims to gather insights from caterers on the delivery of school food and catering services. This engagement is part of a broader program involving schools, local authorities, and other stakeholders. Current school catering providers interested in participating should complete the attached online questionnaire by 12 PM on Friday, May 1, 2026.
