Secondary school
“School food made easy”
The challenge
This public sector inner-city secondary school wanted to break even but with ever increasing food costs combined with the guidelines relating to school food, the Catering Manager found it increasingly difficult to keep costs down. Acquire came to the rescue!
The solution
We used our cost comparison team to analyse the existing spend patterns and then compare the range purchased with our specially negotiated agreements for the education sector. As usual our agreements showed significant savings and arrangements were made to transfer the supply to our terms.
The results
Firstly, the school made over a 30% saving. Our suppliers were also able to advise the school as to which products complied with the school food legislations and what was banned. The Catering Manager also benefited from visiting our secure client website, which we constantly updated with school food news, new products and promotions. The school is now breaking even.
“Acquire are a big help in translating the increasingly confusing area of school food provision. It’s comforting knowing they know what they are talking about.”
