The County Council is legally required to
provide access to a free school meal service for maintained schools
(including provision of Key Stage 1 meals currently funded through
Universal Infant Free School Meal funding from the Department for
Education); therefore arrangements will need to be made to continue
to provide this service from 1st August 2019. Combined, the
contracts are worth approximately £10 million per annum and
currently used by 148 schools, serving approximately 19,000 meals
per day.
