Virano Managed Service Catering Framework
Virano Frameworks Ltd · up to £20,000,000
What the buyer wants
Virano Frameworks Ltd is seeking to establish a single supplier framework agreement for the provision of managed catering services, primarily for education settings and other eligible contracting authorities. The framework is intended to support schools, academies, multi-academy trusts, colleges, universities and other educational bodies with the delivery of compliant, high-quality and value-for-money managed catering services. The framework will cover managed school catering and school meal services, including primary meal provision, secondary retail catering provision and mixed primary/secondary estate arrangements. Services may include menu development, food and ingredient supply, mobilisation, operational management support, compliance support, training, reporting, performance monitoring, contract management and continuous improvement under a managed service model. The framework will be awarded to one supplier only. Future call-off contracts may be awarded to the appointed supplier in accordance with the framework agreement and call-off methodology set out in the procurement documents. Appointment to the framework does not guarantee any minimum level of work, value, volume or exclusivity. Call-off contracts must remain within the scope of the framework, specification, pricing methodology and framework terms. The call-off process will be used to confirm customer-specific requirements, apply the approved pricing methodology, agree mobilisation and service-specific details and complete the relevant call-off contract. It must not be used to reopen competition or renegotiate framework terms. The framework is expected to commence on 2 November 2026 and will operate for four years. The procurement is being conducted under the Procurement Act 2023 using the open procedure and is considered suitable for the Light Touch Regime as its principal subject matter is the provision of managed school catering and school meal services.
How Tenderoo reads it
This is a framework agreement: a place on it puts you on the buyer's approved list, which they call work off from over the term. It is not a single job, and a small firm can hold a place alongside national suppliers.
