6704 (2025). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education: Were the late deliveries of lunches by external providers of the Ka Ora, Ka Ako programme a breach of contract; if not, why not?

Hon David Seymour: The Ministry has set high expectations with the School Lunch Collective in relation to meal quality, service, and nutrition, among other things. The Ministry is monitoring and seeking feedback from students and schools about their experiences. Formal reviews of the Supplier's performance - which is included in its Service Agreement - will begin in Term 2.
