This RFP is issued by the Ministry of Education.

The Ministry is seeking a single supplier to deliver a high-quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) Food Programme in 2027 (initial term, with options to renew the contract until the end of 2032).

We require provision delivered for one lunch meal for up to 10,000 children (aged two to five years old) who are attending low equity ECE Services active in the Programme. These ECE Services and Kōhanga Reo are located throughout New Zealand, including in urban and rural areas. The food is to be provided for five days a week, for 48 weeks per-annum.
