Summary of the contracting process

Gosport Borough Council is initiating an open procurement process titled "Gosport Concession Opportunities 2025" aimed at granting concessions for trading on council-owned land within the borough, specifically for areas such as the seafront, parks, gardens, and open spaces. The procurement falls under the industry category of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 16th June 2025. This procurement process involves an open competition method and is designed to support and promote local businesses by offering annual trading licences starting from July 2025. The concessions include several lots at various locations such as People's Park, Gosport Waterfront, and Alver Valley among others, with an overall contract value estimated at £100,000 GBP.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in food and beverage services, to establish a presence in notable locations within Gosport. Concessions at high-traffic sites like People's Park and Stokes Bay offer businesses the opportunity to tap into robust visitor numbers, especially during the summer months. Businesses best suited for this procurement would be those with a keen interest in leveraging popular local spots for growth through catering or retail operations, given the focus on competitive offerings with the highest offer as the criterion for awarding contracts. With a transparent, open competition process, this tender can be a promising avenue for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the local market.
