## Description

West Sussex County Council \(WSCC\) wish to engage with the school meal Provider market to give opportunity to both parties to explore food solutions within our Primary phase schools in the future\. This market testing exercise is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest\. This document does not form any part of an invitation to tender\. WSCC is issuing this request for information only\. Given the specialist nature and size of these opportunities WSCC seek to engage with proven school meal operators and reserve the right to decline requests for meeting slots with Providers not operating at scale in this area of business\. WSCC is utilising an electronic tendering portal \(Atamis\) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to access the RFI documentation\.
