Overview
The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for St Francis of Assis Catholic College.
The contract covers the scope for the provision of all College catering services, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements.
St Francis of Assisi Catholic Technology College is a lively and dynamic institution, which leads all who live and work here to a new vision of their potential. The College has a strong Catholic ethos and is committed to providing an excellent education within the context of the Catholic faith and the teachings of the Church.
Students are expected to aim for academic excellence, get involved in the life of the College and help to maintain the high standards of interpersonal relationships on which we all depend.
Students are challenged to reach for what is beyond their immediate grasp and aspire to great things for the benefit of others.
The College is a community which has the potential to produce future leaders in society who will help to redefine and improve the world in which we live.
The current catering contract has been in place for several years and we seek a catering contractor who can share our vision continuing to meet the needs of our pupils over the coming years.
We are a mixed College educating pupils in the 11-18 range. The College has 1170 students on roll, of which 200 are Post 16 and are housed in their own sixth form centre. The number of students are expected to be maintained over the course of this contract.
Achievement levels are expected to continue to rise over the next few years, further enhancing the standing of an already successful College in the neighbourhood.
