Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maidstone Borough Council is currently undertaking a supplier engagement process for the provision of mobile catering services in various public parks within Maidstone, England. This initiative, titled "Mobile Catering - Supplier Engagement," falls under the catering services industry category (CPV code: 55520000). The engagement is in the planning stage, with expressions of interest due by 17th January 2022. Interested suppliers can submit their queries and responses through the Kent Business Portal.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in catering services. The focus on mobile catering suggests that businesses with experience in flexible, on-the-go food provision, such as catering vans or temporary dining services, would be particularly well-suited to participate. With the potential for future tender processes depending on this preliminary engagement, businesses are encouraged to express their interest to help shape the project's requirements.
