The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth (MPSAN) announces that those companies/suppliers interested in including their products in the price lists of the canteens of public primary schools, for the school year 2022-2023 only, can fill in a relevant form/application to the Central Control Committee of School Canteens (K.E.E.C.C.), which, as the Committee responsible for the inclusion of products in the price lists, decides on the products available from the canteens.
Interested parties should submit the relevant application to the C.E.C.C, no later than the end of January of 2022. The application form for new product approval can be found on the website of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sport and Youth at http://www.moec.gov.cy (Services - Office of Civil Defence, Health and Safety - School Canteens - Forms). Note that applications are also being accepted for the inclusion of organic products in school canteens, in accordance with the Green Public Procurement Action Plan and more specifically the purchase of organic food and the provision of catering services. The measure concerns the purchase of products resulting from organic production and cultivation methods. These products must be labelled organic or meet at least the minimum criteria of the EU Toolbox.
The CECC will inform companies/suppliers about the approval or rejection of the applications submitted by the end of March 2022.
The price lists of approved products sold in public school canteens are posted on the website of the Ministry of Education and sent by circular to all schools.
