The Contract Duration and Structure The contract will be awarded for a three-year duration with the option of two additional, one year extensions. It is the intention of the Schools to appoint a single contractor in order to maximise the benefits for all parties. The financial structure of the contract is designed to reflect the Schools' aims to reward the Contractor in a fair manner and based upon contract delivery and to have an open-book agreement that is easily auditable. The Selby Primary Schools Group wish to be at the forefront of school catering and as such require a modern, branded offer that reflects the leading trends in the industry.
