EXECUTIVE PROPOSAL<br />
We are delighted to present our proposals for the catering service at<br />
Barrland Court. After we received the ITT we visited Barrland Court and<br />
met up with Samantha Morton, Housing Assistant. She kindly gave us a<br />
tour of the facilities and provided views on the current catering service.<br />
From our visit, we have summarise our key proposals below:<br />
Meeting the Authority’s requirements and a summary of the services provided<br />
Caterplus has extensive kosher experience of providing services in care environments.<br />
We currently operate in over 20 Jewish sites in the UK, including the largest Jewish care<br />
home in Europe (Nightingale House, Clapham). We are also a specialist care and<br />
welfare caterer operating in over 150 non-Jewish sites across the UK.<br />
We will comply with the requirements of the Authority by:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Following strict purchasing protocols using only accredited kosher suppliers<br />
based in Scotland. Complying with kashrut regulations is paramount for us and<br />
our reputation; and the sourcing of ingredients is strictly monitored.<br />
Supporting Barrland Court with our network of local area managers and relief<br />
team, plus our extensive field-based specialist support of Training Managers, HR<br />
Managers, Health & Safety Manager, In-House Nutritionist, Auditor and Food<br />
Development team.<br />
Specialist support and knowledge of kosher catering.<br />
Our proposals exceed what is currently provided. Are plans are to offer more<br />
choice across the whole week, particularly on the range of items offered at<br />
lunchtime.<br />
Likewise there is very little uptake of the current afternoon service; our plans for<br />
this is to promote ‘theme events’ on a regular basis and look at the possibility of<br />
delivering ‘afternoon home-bakes’ to the tenants directly.<br />
Investment in additional craft skills in the kitchen at weekends (particularly on<br />
Sundays)<br />
