Summary of the contracting process

Fife Coast and Countryside Trust is seeking a supplier to run a mobile catering concession in Elie, Fife. The work is to provide catering from a mobile operation; the procurement is classified as a service, specifically catering services. The Trust is the buying organisation. The requirement concerns one concession, with delivery at Elie, and is intended for suppliers able to provide and operate suitable mobile catering provision at that location. The opportunity is structured as a single lot, covering the provision of the mobile catering concession service.

The Trust invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 1 February 2027 at 08:00 UTC; bids were also scheduled to open at that time. The contract period is 22 March 2027 to 31 March 2029. Renewal is possible, subject to review. No estimated contract value is stated in the procurement details. Bids must be submitted electronically, in English, and variants are not allowed. The procurement sets out economic and technical selection criteria, but the specific tests and the basis for comparing offers are not described in the available details.

This opportunity is suited to a catering operator with the equipment and practical capacity to deliver a mobile service in Elie. Suppliers should be able to organise day-to-day food and drink provision at the location and sustain the operation throughout a contract running across multiple seasons. The requirement may suit a local or regional caterer able to mobilise and operate a mobile unit, as well as an established operator seeking a concession site. The procurement includes economic and technical selection criteria, so bidders should be ready to demonstrate financial standing and relevant operational capability. No specific accreditation, staffing level, menu, service hours or prior experience threshold is described in the available details; bidders should assess the tender requirements before committing resources.
