RFI - Healthy School Lunches (HSL) Innovations
Tender Overview
About this tender
The Healthy School Lunch programme (the Programme) managed by the Ministry of Education is currently delivered as a universal programme to approximately 25% of students in schools across New Zealand. Under the Programme all students within a participating school are eligible for a Ministry-funded school lunch. Daily lunches are currently provided to approximately 240,000 students across 1,015 schools and kura via several different models. The Ministry is undertaking market analysis and research on innovative approaches to deliver a cost efficient, scalable Healthy School Lunch programme that supports students experiencing food insecurity regardless of the school they attend, as well as: improving sustainability, such as exploring options for localised ingredient sourcing, production and delivery suitable for clusters of schools minimising the impact of weather or other events, in particular for small or isolated communities increasing flexibility through innovative funding mechanisms and delivery partnerships. Through this RFI we are seeking information on options to support the delivery of lunch solutions targeting groups of students in schools, within regions around New Zealand. A market briefing will be held at 2pm, Tuesday 16 June. Briefing registration details are included in the RFI document. Contact: Andrew McLean Email: lunches.procurement@education.govt.nz
