Education sector caterer Alliance in Partnership (AiP) has secured £8.2m in new contracts since the beginning of the academic year.

 

The new and retained contracts encompass 42 schools, including:

  • Our Lady of the Magnificat MAC in Leamington Spa, expanding from six to 12 schools
  • Maritime Academy Trust in Kent and London, extending from five to 11 schools
  • Five schools within Holy Spirit MAC in Warwickshire
  • Seven schools within the Stour Vale Academy Trust in Dudley
  • Three schools within Every Child Every Day Academy Trust in London and Surrey
  • Three schools with Elements Diocesan Learning Trust in Dudley
  • The Excel Academy in Stoke-on-Trent

Part of Sodexo, AiP has committed to growing its partnerships with multi-academy trusts across the Midlands, London, and the south east. It now provides catering for more than 400 primary and secondary schools.

 

Steve Hawkins, managing director for schools at Sodexo UK and Ireland said: “The AiP team has built on last year’s achievements and enjoyed an exceptional year. School meals play a crucial role in the school day, and we recognise the significance of providing children with tasty, nutritious lunches.

 

“AiP’s robust partnerships with schools have grown significantly, and we are thrilled to see an increasing number of schools selecting AiP as their meal provider.”

 

In the 2023 academic year, the caterer won £3.6m in new and retained contracts.

 

With a focus on sustainability, AiP’s menus showcase local suppliers, seasonal produce, and wonky vegetables.

 

Additionally, Sodexo’s WasteWatch programme, implemented across all AiP contracts, helps manage kitchen waste by identifying efficiencies and making data-driven menu choices.

 

Established in 1998, the AiP group of companies, including the Contract Dining Company and Class Catering Services, joined Sodexo in December 2018.
