The cafe lease area contains approximately 60 internal and 95 external covers with the retail shop currently located in an adjacent building. The concessionaire will also be responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the public toilet facilities and bike wash within the lease area.

Additional information: Following consideration of the initial expressions of interest, Forestry England may wish to engage in further soft market testing with respondents. Therefore, at this stage the scope of the contract and contract duration is still subject to change based on feedback from the market. Please refer to attached document for further information.
