What counts as education catering tenders here?
Catering tenders published by education buyers: the same title rule as the UK-wide catering hub, kept to notices whose buyer the education tenders hub recognises by name. Notices from other buyers with the same subject are on the catering hub; the education hub lists every subject.
Classified
This hub is chosen by buyer or place, which the catalogue does not describe, so it uses no classification.
Matched by text
The buyer's name contains one of: catering, school meals, vending, café, food service…, hospitality services, university, college, school, schools, academy, academies, learning trust, education trust. A word match is not a judgment of what is bought, so these are labelled as matches.
