Compliant with public procurement frameworks, our expert support helps academies and trusts navigate public sector regulations with ease – delivering cost savings, contract transparency, and improved supplier terms without disrupting existing catering teams.
“From the start, food ordering & invoicing was simplified with the implementation of EDI ordering which included plenty of hands-on training for myself and the schools.”
allmanhall are supporting academies and trusts across the UK with tailored school catering services – providing supplier and contract management, high-quality ingredients, nutrition advice, allergen management training and exceptional value to give every student and pupil the best possible start in life. These are just some of our many clients.
Yes. Our procurement solutions are fully compliant with public sector requirements, including PCR 2015 and UK procurement legislation. We operate via established frameworks and can support direct awards or formal tenders, ensuring full transparency, auditability, and value for money for your trust or school. And furthermore, our buyers have CIPS qualifications (Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply) and our benchmarking approach is in line with the best practice recommendations from CIPS.
No. We work collaboratively with your in-house or outsourced catering teams. Our role is to enhance your current operations with compliant procurement support, better supplier terms, and expert advice - not to replace your teams or catering arrangements. We’re here to strengthen what’s already working.
Many academies and trusts start realising savings within the first term - whether through better ingredient pricing, enhanced supplier relationships, or streamlined operations. Longer-term benefits such as improved sustainability, cost control, range management, food inflation mitigation and compliance develop as we continue to work together – making your food spend go further.
We partner only with trusted suppliers who meet rigorous standards for public sector contracts, including nutritional compliance, food safety, and sustainability. Our team provides support around allergens, waste reduction, and responsible sourcing, helping your school, academy or trust meet both legal obligations and ESG targets.
An excellent mobilisation
Support that goes beyond supply chain and pricing
“Throughout the contract where suppliers have not quite met the expected service level, allmanhall have been on hand to support with supplier management. allmanhall’s high level of influence pressures suppliers to react and address root causes of any issues that arise.”
– Russell Abbey, Head of Catering, Heart Academies Trust
