Summary of the contracting process

The Staffordshire County Council is seeking a Cafe Operator for a newly built café situated in Victoria Park, Stafford. This exciting opportunity falls under the canteen and catering services industry and aims to cater to the anticipated 600,000 annual visitors to the park. The tender process, which started in February 2020, is currently complete, with the café expected to open in summer 2020. The contract period is set to commence on 1st June 2020 and will last until 31st May 2027. The procurement method utilised for this tender was an open procedure below threshold, with the tender period concluding on 16th March 2020.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in catering and hospitality, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with experience in managing café operations, especially those that can enhance visitor experiences in parks or similar environments, will be well-suited to compete. Entities capable of creating diverse, appealing menus that cater to a varied clientele could thrive in this vibrant location, especially given the attractive setting and expected increase in footfall through enhanced park activities funded by the National Heritage Lottery.
