Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lambeth is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for catering concession contracts, with the title "Catering Concession Contract(s) for the London Borough of Lambeth." The Authority is seeking to explore opportunities for establishing commercially viable catering options within various locations in London. The engagement period is actively ongoing, with a deadline for feedback set for 5pm on 1st March 2017. The anticipated locations for these concessions include areas such as Spring Gardens, Larkhall Park, Windrush Square, Emma Cons Gardens, and Clapham Common. The procurement process aims to identify the feasibility of these potential contracts and is part of a market engagement phase where interested parties are encouraged to provide input on operational concerns and potential financial models.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for catering businesses, particularly those looking to expand their offerings in urban settings. Companies specialising in various types of food service, from mobile units to more established catering setups, would be particularly well-suited to participate. The engagement process is designed to gauge interest and gather insights on best practices and operational considerations that could inform the contracting process. Businesses that respond effectively to the Authority's requests for feedback may position themselves favourably when the more detailed tendering activities commence, thereby enhancing their chances for success in future catering contracts within the borough.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Catering Concession Contract(s) for the London Borough of Lambeth

Notice Description

The London Borough of Lambeth (the Authority), is undertaking preliminary investigations to ascertain whether it can establish a series of commercially viable catering concession contracts. This request for information is intended as an initial starting point to engage possible interested parties. If we receive positive feedback following this request for information, then we may undertake more detailed market testing. We wish to obtain feedback on the possibility of a series of catering concession contracts. High-level analysis suggest that there are a number of locations within the Borough where a form of catering concession contract may be viable. These include the following locations: - Spring Gardens / Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens: just inside Kennington Lane entrance adjacent to Vauxhall Tavern - Larkhall Park: just inside Wandsworth Road entrance - Windrush Square: near Effra Road/Saltoun Road junction - Emma Cons Gardens: on the periphery of The Cut boundary - Clapham Common: on the 'grassy knoll' behind Clapham Common underground station. These concessions can take a number of forms including something as simple as so-called "man in a van" opportunities to more complex arrangements. We would appreciate feedback from potential suppliers on locations, any operational concerns, and issues around implementation. We would appreciate feedback on the following points: - What you believe to be the key drivers of a successful catering concession contract. - The possible risks that the Authority and the potential supplier should be aware of. - An indicative outline of the possible financial benefits that the Authority might be able to obtain. - Possible commercial models that could be used. - What you believe to be sustainable timeframes for the establishing of a concession. Please send your feedback to Helen Lee(hlee@lambeth.gov.uk) by 5pm on 1st March 2017.
