Notice Title

Paisley Arts Centre Cafe Bar - Market Engagement/ Pilot

Notice Description

Renfrewshire Council are publishing this market engagement notice on behalf of Renfrewshire Leisure Limited trading as OneRen. OneRen requires an experienced supplier to undertake a pilot project to deliver a consistent, quality food and beverage offer in Paisley Arts Centre's refurbished cafe bar. Paisley Arts Centre has recently undergone a major refurbishment to improve performance facilities and audience experience. Situated in the heart of Paisley, Paisley Arts Centre has long been established as one of Scotland's most vibrant and exciting venues for comedy, dance, drama, music, theatre and family events. The cafe bar area has been increased in size by extending the front of the building, allowing the interior of the venue to be viewed from the street. The fencing at the front of the venue has been removed and the outdoor area paved and opened into the public realm, further encouraging access. The Arts Centre is Paisley's best kept secret. A venue focussed on intimate connections between performers and audience, making it feel special for the artists as well as the audiences. It's a beloved place for one off special events that can only happen in Paisley- getting closer to the action or being the first the catch the next big thing. The Paisley Arts Centre is about the unique, the edgy and the buzz. Renfrewshire's radical spirit. OneRen requires an experienced supplier to undertake a pilot project to deliver a consistent, quality food and beverage offer in Paisley Arts Centre's refurbished cafe bar. The selected supplier will operate the cafe bar during public opening hours*: Thursday: 10am-10pm Friday: 10am-11pm Saturday: 10am-11pm Sunday: 10am-6pm *Depending on the venue programme of activity other days and times may be required but advance notice will be given. Paisley Arts Centre cafe bar is fully furnished with a spacious counter top and small inventory, available on request. The venue does not have commercial kitchen facilities on site, therefore a predominately coffee, cakes and light bites offer will be required. The selected supplier will be required to bring all smaller loose equipment to the venue (e.g. coffee machine, cutlery, crockery etc). The supplier will be responsible for the securing and cleaning of the cafe bar area on a daily basis. The successful supplier should offer the following: - Strong existing community links and partnerships - Over 65% of produce from local suppliers (Renfrewshire and Glasgow wide) - A menu that incorporates alternatives for allergies and dietary restrictions - A competitive price point for local customers, benchmarked against local businesses. - Demonstrated ability to programme events and activities in the cafe bar throughout the year, in consultation with the venue team. - Evidence of certification of food hygiene and personal license - 10 million GBP for Public Liability insurance and 5 million GBP for Employee Liability insurance
