The Generations Multi Academy Trust seeks a single catering supplier to provide comprehensive food service across its four schools, comprising the two secondary academies—Goffs Academy and Goffs‑Churchgate Academy—and the two primary schools, Flamstead End and Oakview Primary. The successful provider will be responsible for preparing and serving meals to approximately 3,440 pupils throughout the academic year, while maintaining a partnership approach that aligns with the Trust’s philosophy of nurturing children from early education through secondary school.

The contract, valued at £5.25 million including VAT, will be subject to renewal after the initial term, with the Trust evaluating performance on both quality and price, assigning 70 % weight to quality and 30 % to price.

All food provided must comply with UK food safety regulations and deliver balanced meals in accordance with national nutrition guidelines.

Thurrock Council is inviting tenders for an Open Framework Agreement to provide flexible tuition and mentoring services for children and young people who are not currently in mainstream education. The framework supports learners across a range of ages and needs, including those without a school placement, individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and others for whom alternative or external tuition arrangements are considered more suitable to meet their educational objectives. Services will be offered either one‑to‑one or in small groups, and may be delivered face‑to‑face or online, with mentoring support available either alongside tuition or as a standalone service to build confidence and address barriers to learning.

The framework is divided into three distinct lots: Lot 1 delivers tuition only, Lot 2 combines tuition with mentoring, and Lot 3 provides mentoring only. Each lot will be managed under the same flexible procurement terms, allowing the Council to renew and extend contracts for up to two years beyond the initial term. Candidates will be assessed on price, service delivery model, staffing and training, meeting attendance, and social value, with a strong emphasis on quality and adherence to best practice in educational support. All service delivery must comply with applicable educational standards and guidance.

The tender concerns the procurement of an open framework contract to supply a wide range of evidence‐based studies required for the development of local strategic plans by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and allied authorities. The framework is intended to provide a robust and compliant procurement process, enabling the authorities to gather the necessary data and analyses that underpin the review and updating of local plans within the mandated six‑month timeframe following plan adoption. Consultants engaged under this contract will deliver specialist studies across multiple planning disciplines, with the Council retaining the capacity to award up to five consultants per individual lot.

The procurement is divided into eight distinct lots covering the major sectors of local planning. Lot 1 focuses on housing, including affordability, market assessment and accommodation needs; Lot 2 addresses built and natural environment matters such as Green Belt analysis and flood risk assessments; Lot 3 covers landscape and biodiversity, requiring landscape studies, sensitivity assessments and habitat data; Lot 4 is dedicated to employment and commercial evidence, including economic needs studies and town centre use analyses; Lot 5 deals with transport and parking, providing transport evidence bases, cycling and walking infrastructure updates; Lot 6 concerns sustainability, with strategic environmental assessments, health impact studies and carbon life‑cycle evaluations; Lot 7 concerns sports and recreation, requiring facility needs assessments and open‑space studies; and Lot 8 provides full‑plan viability assessments and CIL evidence. A consultant may be awarded a maximum of three individual lots, with the three highest‑ranked lot awards considered, and any additional lot awards excluded.

Award decisions will be based solely on the quality of the proposed solutions, with no financial weighting. Consultants must be able to deliver all agreed studies within the Council’s defined timeframes and to the quality standards set by the council, ensuring full compliance with the required planning and environmental regulatory framework.

The South Wales Fire and Rescue Service together with the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust are inviting bids to establish a framework for the provision of Professional Construction Consultancy Services.

The Crown Estate is conducting a strategic procurement to appoint Managing Agents who will deliver comprehensive asset, contract, compliance, and customer management services across its extensive UK portfolio. This portfolio includes coastal, marine, mineral and infrastructure assets that span from Wales to Northern Ireland and cover a range of specific sectors such as linear transport corridors and mineral extraction sites. By segmenting the contract into eight distinct lots, the Crown Estate seeks to match each geographical and sectoral requirement with specialised expertise, ensuring that localised knowledge and industry experience are appropriately leveraged.

Lot 1 through Lot 4 cover the primary coastal regions of Wales, Northern England, Eastern England, and Southern England respectively, while Lot 5 targets the River Hamble area and Lot 6 focuses on Northern Irish coastal assets. Lot 7 and Lot 8 address linear assets and mineral assets, both of which demand unique operational and regulatory considerations.

Compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory frameworks is mandatory, and the suppliers’ performance will be evaluated on quality of service and cost effectiveness.
