Under the agreement, ISS will provide approximately 25,000 meals per day to the primary school community, ensuring every child has access to nutritious food that fuels learning and development.

The contract takes effect in Q3 2026.

Over the past 14 months, ISS has collaborated closely with the food service provider ‘apetito’ to design a primary school food solution that not only meets but exceeds the School Food Standards. This innovative approach prioritises inclusivity, catering for children with special dietary requirements and cultural preferences, while maintaining consistency, safety, and exceptional quality.

The solution integrates apetito’s high-quality, chef-prepared main and dessert options into ISS’s FEED (Feeding Excellence Every Day) brand - a programme that reflects our commitment to delivering nutritious meals alongside a positive dining experience.

Scott Davies, CEO of ISS United Kingdom & Ireland says:

“We are delighted to partner with West Sussex County Council and apetito to deliver a solution that sets a new benchmark for primary school catering. Our shared vision is to provide every child with access to nutritious, high-quality meals in an environment that supports learning and wellbeing”.
