Details

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for Pontarddulais Comprehensive School, located in Swansea, Wales. The annual contract value is approximately £300,000 and the initial contract term will be three years, commencing 1 September 2027 and concluding 31 August 2030. The contract will operate on a guaranteed performance basis, offering a fixed annual return and/or subsidy. There will be an option to extend for a further term of three years by mutual agreement. Pontarddulais Comprehensive School is an English medium 11-16 mixed school in the City and County of Swansea. There are currently 850 pupils on roll with approximately 17% of those entitled to a Free School Meal. The School was opened in 1982, with a Specialist Teaching Facility added in 2007 for up to 10 pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities. It serves a large catchment area that includes Llangyfelach, Pengelli, Pontarddulais, Pontlliw and Penllergaer primary schools. Pupils are drawn from a widely dispersed catchment area including urban areas, small villages and hill farms. A significant demand for places outside the designated catchment confirms the popularity of the school. The School has sustained a record of excellent performance in pupil outcomes over several years. The School received a hugely positive Estyn inspection in December 2023. It was noted that "Pontarddulais Comprehensive School is a dynamic and inclusive school where pupils, regardless of background or ability, thrive academically, socially, and emotionally”. The school places great value on their partnerships with parents and carers. They believe that pupils’ success is founded on forging positive relationships through mutual respect, and excellent teaching and learning experiences. Please see PSQ Document for more information.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this agriculture & food opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.

  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
