Description

University Schools Trust (UST) seeks to appoint a Contractor whose skills, experience and attributes align with the Trusts Vision and Values. As a small Trust of 4 Schools, the Trust is actively looking to grow and are engaged in discussions with a range of schools'. Community is at the heart of our culture and ensuring our pupils have access to good, well prepared, nutritious food. As UST has grown we are moving towards a more centralised Procurement Model, appointing the services of a single catering contractor is a vital part of achieving this goal. Whilst the Trust currently benefits from localised contract arrangements, we would wish the successful contractor to review the current range of services offered and make recommendations accordingly.
