The Council has carried out a selection process with organisations who have expressed an interest in becoming involved in supplying catering services to our schools.

The Council has encouraged interest from small and medium enterprises, and local/national organisations that may be able to support service development and delivery including:

• Innovative solutions
• Packed lunch services
• Locally sourced products
• Vending Services
  - as well as traditional catering services.

The purpose of setting up the approved supplier list is to support schools in finding solutions that meet their needs. All of the organisations on the list have completed a questionnaire to demonstrate their suitability to provide these services. The questionnaire covers the following areas:

• Referees
• Service provision
• Financial information including insurance cover
• Diversity
• Health & safety
• Catering organisations are welcome to complete our approved supplier questionnaire and seek approval for entry onto the Council's list.
