Seaford Town Council is inviting tenders for the "West View Concession Huts" project, providing a unique opportunity for businesses to be part of a vibrant concession community along Seaford’s seafront during the summer season of 2026. This procurement is classified under non-residential property renting or leasing services and falls within the services category. Interested businesses must submit their applications electronically or in written form by 4th March 2026. The concession huts are available from 1st April to 30th September, strategically located on a busy promenade that attracts a diverse group of visitors. This active tender process is in the tender stage, offering a significant platform for expanding business presence in the region.

This tender offers an excellent growth platform for small and emerging local businesses to increase their visibility and customer reach without the burden of VAT, providing a beneficial financial setup. Ideal candidates are those seeking to market non-food and beverage-related services, as restrictions apply in that area. With a minimum bid price of £1,000 for the six-month period, businesses can secure a seaside location to attract locals, tourists, and families. The potential for substantial daily earnings makes this a lucrative opportunity for businesses eager to establish themselves in a popular summer destination.
