## Description

The Keys Federation Academy Trust / Community First Academy Trust \(known as the Partnership\) is intending to establish a new catering contract to commence in September 2016\.

John's CE Primary – Simpkin Street, Abram, Wigan WN2 5QE 3436 \(DfES Number\) Platt Bridge Community School – Rivington Avenue, Platt Bridge, Wigan WN2 5NG The schools are keen to promote local source and sustainability and it is expected that mainly fresh vegetables will be used and mainly British products; but the schools realise that local sourcing and organic products could be difficult to fund\. It is essential that the menus comply with the Government food and nutritional standards\. The schools will also require involvement from the successful contractor in curriculum activities, such as possible grow ‘clubs’ and participation in cookery clubs and PTA events\. The schools see that the midday meals service will be part of a whole school approach to their healthier school programme\.
