Community Operation and Management of the Cafe at the Old Town Quarry
Notice Description
Weston-super-Mare Town Council (WSMTC) is seeking a suitably experienced and qualified organisation to undertake the operation and management of the cafe at the Old Town Quarry, which is a hub for community arts and culture set in a beautiful natural environment in the heart of Weston-super-Mare. This is an exciting opportunity as the Quarry moves to a new phase of operation, opening summer 2025. The organisation will need to have proven and demonstrated experience in similar projects and the wide-ranging skill bases to achieve the various elements required to ensure the running of the cafe (over 7 days a week) is successful and enhances the offer of site. Organisations from whom WSMTC procure goods and services must demonstrate that all practicable steps are being taken to allow equal access and equal treatment in employment and service delivery, as appropriate to the nature of the contract. Following a decision made by WSMTC in July 2020, the Council is committed to working with organisations who pay the Real Living Wage to their employees. Organisations from whom WSMTC procure goods and services must be able to demonstrate an excellent Health and Safety record, accordingly contractors that cannot demonstrate an excellent record, free from enforcement action, will not be considered. Contractors must also be able to demonstrate how they provide social value with the work being carried out, within parameters set out by WSMTC. Tender documents will be issued w/c 5th May, work is anticipated to start late Summer 2025. Interested parties are advised to contact us for further information, whilst providing the following information: * Organisation name, status, address, contact name and if applicable registration number * Company bankers name and account number * Details of any enforcement action under Health & Safety Legislation * Brief details of two recent (within last 36 months) similar projects undertaken by the company (Max 1000 words) * Confirmation that the organisation will be able to submit a tender and should they be successful, commence the contract late Summer 2025.
