Original Tender Description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering services for Lyndon Green Junior School and Lyndon Green Infant School. The two Schools share the same kitchen, which currently has an in-house catering provision, this being the first time that the contract has been put to competitive tender. The kitchen is large and whilst it currently only services the onsite Schools, in previous years it has been the hub kitchen for a delivered meal service for up to three other local Schools. The governing body would, in principle, consider the re-establishment of the kitchen as a hub for a delivered meal service to other Schools, subject to an appropriate business case being made. Lyndon Green Junior School: We have amazing children, supportive parents and a dedicated team, who strive to provide a curriculum that is vibrant and creative, making memories that will last forever. Lyndon Green has a Forest School. A forest school is an educational model where children learn through hands-on, child-led play and exploration in a natural environment, such as a woodland. It is a long-term, holistic approach that emphasizes the development of self-esteem, confidence, and problem-solving skills through supported risk-taking in a regular, sustained contact with the outdoors. This is different from one-off nature trips, as it is a process-based philosophy that happens over an extended period. Our school values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment which prepares our pupils. Our five dispositions: perseverance, positivity, creativity, being adventurous and hard working underpin all aspects of school life. As of October 2025, we have 367 pupils between the ages of seven and eleven on roll , many of whom are entitled to Free School Meals. The value of the current catering contract is circa £172,500. The Client expects the successful Supplier to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared. The contract covers the scope for the provision of catering services, which currently includes both morning break and lunch at margin, all hospitality and free issue requirements as at net cost.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for catering services at Lyndon Green Junior & Infant Schools is generally well-structured, with clear descriptions and financial information. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on green/social aspects, impacting its overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to follow standard open procedure with a competitive flexible approach. The CPV code provided (School cleaning services) is incorrect for catering services, which is a significant legal compliance issue. Deadlines are provided, and the procedure is stated. No disputes are indicated. The use of an e-sourcing portal suggests adherence to modern procurement regulations.

Incorrect CPV code provided (90919300 for School cleaning services instead of catering).
Clarity80/100

The description of services is clear, detailing the scope of catering for two schools and the potential for expansion. Requirements for innovative, healthy food and locally sourced ingredients are well-articulated. The reference to a 'PSQ Document' for more information is noted, but the content of this document is not available in the provided text.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and contract start date. However, the content of the 'PSQ Document' is missing, which is crucial for understanding detailed requirements. The lack of explicit evaluation criteria also impacts completeness.

Content of 'PSQ Document' is not provided.
Evaluation criteria are not specified.
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, and the estimated value is disclosed. The use of an e-sourcing portal promotes transparency. Requirements are generally objective, focusing on service provision and quality. There are no immediately apparent requirements tailored to specific companies, suggesting a fair process.

Practicality65/100

The tender utilizes an e-sourcing portal for access and response, which is practical. However, the provided URL for the tender itself is for 'School cleaning services', which is inconsistent with the tender's actual subject matter (catering). The contract start date is clearly specified. Financing information is not detailed.

URL for tender access points to 'School cleaning services' instead of catering.
Financing details are not provided.
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. The contract duration and start date are logical. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The primary inconsistency lies in the CPV code and the URL pointing to cleaning services.

CPV code mismatch with tender description.
URL for tender access is mislabeled.
Sustainability50/100

While the tender mentions 'fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients', there are no explicit requirements or criteria related to green procurement, social aspects, innovation beyond general service development, or confirmation of EU funding. This suggests a limited focus on sustainability.

No explicit green procurement criteria.
No explicit social procurement criteria.

Strengths

Clear description of catering services and potential expansion.
Disclosure of estimated value and contract duration.
Use of an e-sourcing portal for submission.
Objective criteria for service quality mentioned (e.g., healthy food, local ingredients).

Concerns

Incorrect CPV code provided.
Missing content for crucial 'PSQ Document'.
Absence of specified evaluation criteria.
URL for tender access is mislabeled.

Recommendations
