Ealing Borough: Invitations for provision of catering services
Expressions of Interest for the Provision of Catering Management Services for Primary and Special Schools in the London Borough of Ealing for September 2008 Ealing Council, on behalf of the Ealing School Catering Consortium, is seeking expressions of interest from skilled and experienced catering service providers for the provision of Catering Management Services to approximately 55 primary and special schools borough-wide.

- Be innovative and at the forefront of new ideas to provide cost effective catering services
- Market the service to parents and pupils to increase take up.
- Take on the current catering staff under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) legislation
- Operate an open book accountancy policy
