CSPD Online Canteen Services

Summary and scope

Located in the heart of Western Sydney and in one of the fastest growing areas of New South Wales, the Diocese of Parramatta comprises 80 vibrant and dynamic school communities that stretch from Dundas Valley, north to Richmond, west to Katoomba and south to Luddenham. There are 58 primary schools and 24 secondary schools and two trade pathway campuses supporting approximately 45,000 students and almost 5,000 staff. Parish priests, principals and school communities work together to provide faith-filled, radically inclusive and caring environments that allow young people to grow in their faith and better understand the mission of the Church. This is achieved through religious education, faith formation, liturgical celebrations, sacramental programs, pastoral care and support. Under the pastoral leadership of the Bishop of Parramatta, the Most Reverend Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv DD, students and staff are encouraged to reach out to those most in need. The purpose of this RFT is to solicit a suitably qualified vendors to provide online canteen services to school communities. The relationship will be between the vendor and school communities. CSPD's role is solely to facilitate the service delivery process. The canteen services (lunch only) will be provided to students during school days (Monday -Friday only) and will have healthy food options and affordable prices. School communities will pre-order meals online and have them delivered by the vendor to the respective CSPD schools across the Diocese. The delivery time frame should meet the expectations set by each school. We are looking for multiple providers to create an online canteen panel for some 12 primary schools, located from Harris park to Richmond (including Penrith). Student numbers for each school fall within the 170 to 430 range. The arrangement is to be implemented from Term 1, 2026.
