Summary of the contracting process

Lancing Parish Council is seeking an operator for the Beach Green Kiosk concession in Lancing, West Sussex. The requirement is for restaurant and food-serving services, covering the operation of a kiosk serving the public at Beach Green. This is a service concession associated with a ten-year lease, intended for a business able to manage day-to-day food and customer-service operations from the kiosk site. The council is the buying organisation and will contract with the successful operator. The opportunity is relevant to food retailers, cafés, catering businesses and other operators experienced in running a customer-facing food outlet. It may also suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Lancing Parish Council invited offers through a limited competitive quotation procedure below the threshold. Tenders had to be signed by a company director, named sole trader or partnership, and returned by 5pm on 23 October 2026. Submissions could be made by email, post, courier or hand delivery, with hand-delivered tenders sealed and marked as required. The contract period runs from 10 December 2026 to 9 December 2036, covering a ten-year lease. The stated estimated value is £200,000 including GBP currency. The procurement is for services. The tender sets out the kiosk concession requirement and submission arrangements; evaluation criteria are not stated in the available procurement information.

This opportunity suits an operator with practical experience of running a food-serving business in a public-facing location. Strong candidates are likely to be able to manage kiosk operations, prepare or sell food and drinks, serve customers reliably, maintain appropriate day-to-day standards and operate commercially over a long-term lease. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is accessible to established independent operators as well as larger catering or hospitality businesses. Businesses should consider whether they have the staffing, operational systems, food-service capability and resilience needed to run the kiosk consistently throughout the concession. Experience managing a café, kiosk, takeaway, catering outlet or similar hospitality operation would be directly relevant.
