United Kingdom-Dorchester: Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services – Framework Lead

The current contract for Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services – Framework Lead is projected to end on 13-MAR-22 and may be available for retender. Delivered in Primary School Meal Framework.
Delivered in Primary School Meal Framework.
Dorset County Council is setting up a framework for use by schools and academies in Dorset (including Bournemouth and Poole) to provide delivered in primary school meals.
Kitchen facilities were removed from schools in the 1980s – therefore there are no prime cook facilities. Over the last ten years infrastructure has been put into schools to enable a delivered in cook chill method of service or a delivered in hot service – there are some schools which have no washing up facilities and so there is a requirement for the meal provider to provide a washing up service at the central kitchen.
Meals must be produced at premises in Dorset – and providers must have an office in Dorset from where the service will be managed from, the total production capacity of the facility must be at least 1 000 meals per day.
Existing arrangements end at various times over the duration of the framework.
