Newham Cluster - Catering Tender Apr27

AI Summary

The Newham Cluster – Catering Tender seeks contract catering companies to deliver term‑time pupil meals for seven primary schools in the London Borough of Newham, including Avenue, Central Park, Ellen Wilkinson, Maryland, Sandringham, Southern Road and St Luke’s CofE Primary. Educo Consultancy & Facilities Management is acting on behalf of the borough to secure skilled providers who can design, source, prepare, and serve nutritionally balanced lunches that meet the schools’ dietary guidance and local health standards.
