Description

Attending a school breakfast club and eating a nutritious breakfast can help to better support pupil attainment and attendance, wellbeing, and readiness to learn. The Authority is considering options for the provision of food to school-run breakfast clubs. In pursuance of this, the Authority is seeking information from suppliers in order to help inform the options available to the Authority in regard to how healthy food supplies can be delivered to breakfast clubs in schools across England. The Authority will be holding a market engagement event. This will support the Authority in the development and review of future requirements which support schools in providing breakfast provision. This will include consideration of engagement and support to schools in the programme and delivery of food provision. These elements may be combined or split into separate requirements. Please note that there may be both ambient and chilled food provision required. In order to deliver value for money DfE are looking for innovative purchasing solutions to maximise individual school spending. The purchasing may utilise existing market routes and will be funded centrally to remove the need for additional logistical / administration provisions.

Total Quantity or Scope

Nature and quantity of works, supplies, or services or indication of needs and requirements: The existing National School Breakfast Programme supports schools in disadvantaged areas to establish or enhance their provision of nutritious breakfasts, on a value for money basis. The Authority is currently exploring future options to support schools with accessing nutritious food provision for breakfast clubs. This includes making it simple and cost-effective to access healthy breakfast meals. The food supplied in the programme must follow the Authorities School Food Standards, and further information can be found at the link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/standards-for-school-food-in-england Additional information: If you are interested please contact DfE directly through Jaggaer https://education.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html and we will then forward on information that will be requested prior to the market engagement event or individual meeting if needed.
