Schools & education

School food procurement — standards-compliant, price-stable, easy to run.

Multi-academy trusts, independent schools and in-house catering teams — we run competitive food procurement tenders that meet School Food Standards, keep allergen management tight, and lock in pricing for the whole academic year.

What we hear

Procurement challenges in schools & education.

  • School Food Standards compliance is non-negotiable — most suppliers say they meet it, not all do.
  • Allergen risk means switching suppliers mid-year is painful.
  • Term-time volumes look small annually but concentrated weekly.
  • MATs struggle to consolidate purchasing across a portfolio.

Our approach

How we run a tender for schools & education.

Step 1

Upload invoices

Two or three months of recent invoices give us the full picture — PDF, Excel, CSV or photos.

Step 2

Build the basket

We extract every line, normalise SKUs and roll it up to a full basket view for tender.

Step 3

Tender the market

UK nationals, regional specialists and your incumbents all bid — by category or full basket.

Step 4

Award & lock in

You choose the winning supplier. We lock the contract in on your agreed term — usually 1 to 3 years.
