We have fantastic staff, who inspire and support students to succeed, and our ethos provides a calm and caring learning environment which you can feel as you walk around the Academy. We place strong emphasis on community values and believe every student is an individual. We believe it is crucial to celebrate everyone’s successes and varied talents.

The successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering services for Lyndon Green Junior School and Lyndon Green Infant School. The two Schools share the same kitchen, which currently has an in-house catering provision, this being the first time that the contract has been put to competitive tender. The kitchen is large and whilst it currently only services the onsite Schools, in previous years it has been the hub kitchen for a delivered meal service for up to three other local Schools. The governing body would, in principle, consider the re-establishment of the kitchen as a hub for a delivered meal service to other Schools, subject to an appropriate business case being made. Lyndon Green Junior School: We have amazing children, supportive parents and a dedicated team, who strive to provide a curriculum that is vibrant and creative, making memories that will last forever. Lyndon Green has a Forest School. A forest school is an educational model where children learn through hands-on, child-led play and exploration in a natural environment, such as a woodland. It is a long-term, holistic approach that emphasizes the development of self-esteem, confidence, and problem-solving skills through supported risk-taking in a regular, sustained contact with the outdoors. This is different from one-off nature trips, as it is a process-based philosophy that happens over an extended period. Our school values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment which prepares our pupils. Our five dispositions: perseverance, positivity, creativity, being adventurous and hard working underpin all aspects of school life. As of October 2025, we have 367 pupils between the ages of seven and eleven on roll , many of whom are entitled to Free School Meals. The value of the current catering contract is circa £172,500. The Client expects the successful Supplier to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared. The contract covers the scope for the provision of catering services, which currently includes both morning break and lunch at margin, all hospitality and free issue requirements as at net cost.

The university currently hosts an on-campus "International Study Centre" which delivers routes to degree courses for international students. The partner provider recruits students and provides options for entry that are taught by the provider and certified by Sussex. At the successful completion of the course students are invited to join their selected course and enrol as Sussex students. https://isc.sussex.ac.uk/programmes This provision is due to expire at the end of academic year 2029/30 (31 July 2030). The university is therefore engaging the market to assist in the formation of our plans for this key student recruitment route. We see this as an opportunity to challenge our assumptions across the board about how we can support potential students and encourage them to enrol at Sussex. To this end while the international student pathway is forming the core of our investigation in this project, we see this as an opportunity to reevaluate pathways across all student cohorts, locations, models and formats. We have recently conducted premarket engagement in our Online Distance Learning space (with a tender proposed for 2026) and across the University we are seeking ways to respond to the increasingly dynamic student market. As such rather than framing specific requirements we have provided objectives and needs to meet. Our hope is that by engaging with suppliers we can be innovative in our response to student demand in collaboration with the market to meet student needs while providing sustainable income and value for money for all involved.

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for Castle School Education Trust (CSET) & The Priory Learning Trust ( TPLT). The two separate contracts and ‘lots’ cover the scope for the provision of all catering services within the schools, which also includes free issue requirements. Contract value for the schools is circa £1.2m per annum at CSET and £1.3m per annum at TPLT. Whilst both Trusts are currently independently operated, they have strategic intent to join at some stage during the period of the tender project or subsequent catering contract, consequently both organisations intend to award this catering contract to the same contractor, as two separate lots. The Castle School Education Trust and The Priory Learning Trust are expected to grow, with a number of additional schools becoming part of the Trust/s during this contract period and the provision of catering services at these schools when they have joined the Trust/s will fall under the scope of these contracts. Similarly, any Trust Schools with alternative catering provisions currently in place could fall into scope of this contract as their current catering arrangements end. The successful Supplier will be expected to provide this service at these additional schools using the same costing model applied to the successful tender submission. The duration of contract for these schools will not be increased, and they will join the contract for the remaining contract period that exists at the point of entry into the Trust/s. Due to the scale of the contract, and to enable an effective mobilisation period, it has been decided to stagger the mobilisation dates with each Trust commencing at a slightly different time. Contractors are required to bid for both Lots, and the contract award shall be made at the same time. The contracts are being awarded based on an initial three year, with the opportunity to extend by a further period of up to two years at the discretion of the relevant governing body. •The CSET contract shall commence on 01.04.27 until 31.03.30. •The TPLT contract shall commence on 01.08.27 until 31.07.30.
