Woodhouse College ~ Catering Tender

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services at Woodhouse College

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for Woodhouse College.

'The mission of Woodhouse College is to be an inspirational and nurturing community that is committed to excellence and equips high-achieving, ambitious students with the skills to thrive on their preferred university course and in the wider world of work.'

Woodhouse College is a popular and oversubscribed sixth form college in Barnet teaching A level courses to around 1500 students aged 16 –18 years, who join us from over 180 different schools across North London. The college employs approximately 150 teaching and support staff.

Our students are high-achieving and hard-working. They have done well at GCSE and aim to do likewise at A level. Almost all go on to university. The college acts as a bridge from school to university, giving students a chance to grow in confidence and to develop independent learning skills.’

From 1st January 2021, following academisation, Woodhouse College became part of Frontier Learning Trust which also operates the small but growing specialist Imperial College Maths School on the same site (whose students currently use the College catering facilities which makes a total student population of 1620 from September 2025.)

Catering for staff and pupils is currently from a single central service point on campus with adequate seating availability (unless it is raining!). The catering service also provides hospitality and events on an ad hoc basis.

Current F&B sales are just under £300k per annum with possibilities to extend sales with additional service points

The College expects the successful Supplier to meet the needs of their students and staff. 16–19-year-old students are responsive to “fast grab and go” food, prepared to order food and to branded foods.

The College management team want the College to be an exciting and interesting place for their students, and believe an innovative food supplier will be able to deliver a provision which feels mature, current and above all have a different look and feel to the secondary school experience.

The Supplier will enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, student lead food offering being prepared on-site.
