db69eec0-ea30-4aef-9f4c-78c4dd8e4b4a-84606The purpose of this brief is to contract an individual or organisation to support schools across the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) embed the principles of the School Food Plan as part of the borough Sustainable Food Cities action plan, ‘Good Food in Greenwich.’ (GFIG) Good Food in Greenwich – Context Improving local responses to childhood obesity is one of the priorities of the Royal Borough of Greenwich Health and Wellbeing Strategy. In 2013 the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) in a partnership bid led by Greenwich Cooperative Development Agency, was selected as a founding member of the UK-wide Sustainable Food Cities Network. Since that time, the Good Food in Greenwich brand has gone from strength to strength, promoting RBG as a great place for food for all who live, study, work or visit the borough. It aims to celebrate the rich diversity of the borough through its vibrant food markets, festivals, catering and businesses, with healthy, sustainable, affordable food accessible to all. The school focussed part of the GFIG action plan (which this brief relates to) will involve building on existing school based good practice, to apply a consistent approach to good food and exemplary food education across RBG schools. The Good Food in Greenwich schools support programme aims to help young people and families make better food choices, by supporting schools to reach standards relating to food provision, cookery, food growing, the curriculum and wider family, community and business engagement. The behaviour change outcomes that we intend to make an impact on as part of this work include: • An increase in the number of primary aged children who eat the recommended amount of fruit and veg. • A decrease in the number of primary school children who eat unhealthy food. • An increased awareness of how food impacts on health (food in the curriculum) • An improvement in the skills required to act on improved knowledge e.g. cooking/growing • An increased awareness of the role of food, food growth and waste in relation to the environment and economy Aim of this contract The aim of the work will be to support initially 16 RBG Primary schools over a three year period, to achieve evidence based standards relating to food throughout the school community. This will be achieved by: • Working closely with the Food Development Officer to agree evidence based standards relating to Food in schools as part of the broader GFIG action plan • Promoting agreed evidence based standards to senior leaders across RBG • Supporting schools across RBG to apply standards throughout the school community • Implementing a programme of training and support for target schools relating to cookery, growing, food education and food focused community and business engagement • Evaluating the impact of implementing food standards in target schools over a three year period Additional information: Outputs These will include: • The production of Food in Schools standards tailored to Greenwich • Quarterly monitoring reports about progress with targeted schools • The development of an evaluation framework relating to the food in schools standards • The production of a final written report outlining the impact of the agreed work plan It is anticipated that support for schools will be more intensive in the first year, enabling schools to adopt a more sustainable self-evaluation model by the end of the 3rd year. Selection Criteria The contract will be awarded taking account of the following factors: • Ability to impact on behaviour change outcomes and deliver agreed outputs • Demonstration of experience and track record relating to the specific areas set out in the brief Process and Logistics The maximum figure available for the delivery of this contract is £90K over a 3 year period.
