Key Statistics about the school Crown Hills Community College, teaching mixed pupils 11-16, taking in students from all over Leicester and the area coming from all backgrounds. At the last census there were 1490 students of which around 330 pupils are eligible for Free School Meals and there are over 200 staff. The estimated annual value of the contract is £389k . Objectives We want our catering company to have all of the essential abilities and skills to provide an outstanding catering service to our students, staff and visitors at our school. You should have the knowledge of how to provide exceptional dining experiences, be able to manage everyone around you and be able to address a concerning matter and take quick actions where required. Providing a high quality and reliable catering service has a major effect on the whole learning experience for all our students, staff and visitors and this is why the school is passionate about having very high quality catering facilities, with excellent food choices which are nutritionally balanced for everyone. Having excellent customer care, the caterer should be polite, diplomatic and thoughtful while dealing with all our students, staff and visitors. The way you operate in our school is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction and to encourage students continue to use the facilities and enjoy the mealtimes. Your menus and pricing structure need to be clear to the students so that they can understand exactly what the offer is to them. We are looking for a refreshing and innovative approach that reflects, amongst other things, the changing profile of student life and their food preferences and types and preferred styles of dining. It’s essential to the school that the Suppliers bidding for this tender think broadly about all issues and not just the core catering service to compete and be successful in obtaining the contract of the school. We would like the Supplier to always be on the lookout for new ways of doing things, coming up with new solutions for many common problems. Suppliers are requested to ensure they consider all the aspects of service delivery and think carefully about the catering requirements. See SQ Document for more information.
