Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has awarded a concession contract for the provision of catering services at Farnborough Library, located in Farnborough, Hampshire, within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The contract, classified under cafeteria services (CPV 55330000), was awarded as part of a single tender action (below threshold) procurement process. The procurement process, initiated through a tender, has completed the award stage as of 21 February 2025, with the contract start date being 20 January 2025. The contract duration is three years, ending on 19 January 2028, and the estimated value of the contract to the service provider is approximately £150,000.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in cafeteria and catering services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their market presence. Being a low-value concession contract, it offers a unique chance for capable businesses to occupy and operate within the designated kitchen, servery, and seating area at Farnborough Library. The awarded contract to Oak Farm Leisure and Activities Centre (OFLAC), an SME and VCSE in Hampshire, highlights the Council's support for local businesses and organisations aiming to contribute to the community’s services.
