Background:

 

This report reviewed progress with the School Meal Contract, which had been classified as high risk under the Council’s contract procedure rules, and recommended the award of a two year extension to the contract in accordance with the conditions of the contract.

 

Chartwells (Compass Group) provided this contract and responsibility and budget provision for the school meal service was delegated to Medway schools. Schools had the options to buy into the corporately let contract, or contract out to an alternative provider (either individually or as part of a cluster of schools), or provide their own catering service.

 

This Procurement Gateway 5 report had been approved for submission to the Cabinet after review and discussion at the Strategic Procurement Board on 30 November 2011.

 

An exempt appendix provided key information on finance and whole-life costings.
