Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is seeking a catering operator for Beveridge Park in Kirkcaldy. The requirement is to provide hot and cold food for sale from a vehicle or trailer at the park. Ice cream and iced confectioneries cannot be sold under the concession. This is a public catering service for park visitors, with the work delivered at Beveridge Park rather than at council premises. The procurement is classified as catering services (CPV 55520000). The requirement is likely to recur, as the council expects an ongoing need for a catering concession at this location. It may suit a mobile food business able to trade from a suitable vehicle or trailer and serve customers in a public park setting.

The process reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. Bids were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time and evaluation scheduled to start then. The contract period is 1,800 days, or approximately five years. There is one requirement covering the Beveridge Park catering concession, with no renewal option and no alternative bids permitted. The contract uses electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The successful operator must comply with all statutory requirements applying to operation of the concession. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits an established mobile caterer or food-service operator with a suitable vehicle or trailer, the equipment and staff needed to prepare and serve both hot and cold food, and the capacity to operate at a public park over a long-term concession. Suppliers should be able to manage day-to-day trading, customer service, stock and food operations in an outdoor setting. The operator must comply with all statutory requirements governing the concession, so relevant legal, food-safety and operating procedures will be important. The offer must be submitted electronically in English, and suppliers should be comfortable using electronic ordering, payment and invoicing arrangements. Businesses seeking recurring local catering work may also benefit from the likelihood of a continuing requirement.
