UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newquay Town Council is currently in the planning stage for a potential trading pitch opportunity at Newquay Railway Station. This procurement process is focused on the services industry, particularly restaurant and food/beverage-serving services. Located in Newquay, Cornwall, specifically at the Municipal Offices on Marcus Hill, this initiative aims to determine the viability of the trading pitch, which will not have access to electricity or water services. Interested parties are encouraged to engage in a soft market assessment by registering their interest via an online form on the Town Council's website, with the deadline for this engagement set for 31st March 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to establish a presence in a high-traffic area without the typical utility overheads. Businesses in the hospitality sector, particularly those capable of operating mobile or self-sufficient food and beverage services, are well-suited for this opportunity. While this assessment is investigatory and non-binding, participating in the process may influence the future procurement strategy of the Town Council, paving the way for new commercial ventures and potential long-term contracts.
