Outsourced Catering Services
The CPC’s Outsourced Catering Services framework gives you access to college, university, academy and school catering companies that offer fully-managed catering services.
The aim of this framework is to provide a straightforward solution to help you procure a new catering service and a new contract catering company. It offers regional and national competition which drives innovation, maximises return on investment and secures value for money. Using the framework could benefit your institution by reducing costs, generating a return on investment, providing a high-quality service with healthy meals and funding state-of-the art facilities.
This is the latest in a series of successful CPC Outsourced Catering Service frameworks which have been previously utilised by over 400 plus educational establishments including schools, colleges, academies/academy trusts and universities.
The framework has 36 suppliers who are contract catering companies for schools, academies, colleges and universities. These suppliers are distributed across 32 regional lots.
