Description

Comberton’s overriding aim is for Students to become ‘caring, confident and capable’. The School’s Students conduct themselves incredibly well and are fantastic ambassadors for CVC; they contribute to the calm, purposeful environment that is characteristic of the School. However, academic achievement is far from Comberton’s only focus; the School believe wholeheartedly in ensuring that all Students, regardless of their background or need, access an exceptional range of experiences. The School are seeking Catering service providers to tender for the provision of all catering services presently offered within its catering outlets, including breakfast, morning break, lunch and all hospitality and free issue requirements. The contract will be for three years in duration, with the option to extend for a further one period of up to two years and with a commencement date of 01 August 2026. Full details will be included in the Invitation to Tender. TUPE regulations apply to this contract, which involves the transfer of existing catering staff, of which some may be members of the Local Government Pension Scheme, requiring arrangements to be made for 'Admitted Body' status with the relevant pension fund.
