The contract will commence on 1.2.2017 for a period of three years, with an option to extend on a 1 +1 basis.
This contract will be nil cost in nature with the successful contractor developing the team and market to move forward.
We are seeking a suitably experienced contractor who has current experience of working within the secondary school or college market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the North of England, thus allowing for responsive, contract support and management of catering staff.
