The project falls within the Canteen and catering services industry category, with the procurement stage currently in the planning phase. Key dates include a site visit on February 19, 2018, at 14:00, with a contract period expected to commence on April 1, 2018, and last for up to five years. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest by emailing the council's representative. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the catering and hospitality sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). With the potential to develop a more extensive menu and cater for events, successful bidders can benefit from a prominent location that attracts art and culture enthusiasts. The capability to serve alcohol may also open new revenue streams, making this opportunity appealing for innovative catering services looking to enhance their offerings. ## Notice West Lancashire Borough Council is seeking expressions of interest regarding the provision of a cafe / bistro facility at its newly refurbished Chapel Gallery, prior to a formal tendering process. This will be a concession contract and the expectation is that the Council will receive an annual income from the successful contractor. It is the Council's intention to award a contract of up to 5 years. Interested parties are encouraged to attend an open session being held at 14.00 on February 19th 2018 at Chapel Gallery, St Helen's Road Ormskirk Lancashire L39 4QR. This session is intended to provide an opportunity to find out more about the current catering service and facilities. Please register your interest in attending by emailing Helen.juste@westlancs.gov.uk The Chapel Gallery is located in Ormskirk town centre and has good links to bus services, road and rail networks. The cafe has access to free Wi-Fi and has recently been relocated from the back to the front of the facility. The Chapel Gallery was opened in 2001 following a successful grant from Arts Council England and has an excellent reputation for providing an arts and cultural service for the Borough. This has included the provision of exhibitions, education workshops, art courses, developing touring exhibitions and the added attraction of a gift shop and cafe. Working with various partners over the years it has come to be recognised as one of the region's best galleries. During the course of the last two years the gallery has undergone a significant transformation. This has included a general improvement of the whole facility with the addition of a glazed lift to the first floor, the trebling in size and relocation of the cafe to the front of the building as well as an improvement of all the services provided. The cafe facility now has the ability to cater for 70 covers, there is also a small seating area outside the facility. The current menu is limited and there is potential for this to be substantially developed. The facility is also taking on an alcohol licence and with the right provider there is also scope for the potential in this area to be realised. There are five part time members of staff employed on the current contract which the Council considers would fall under the TUPE Regulations.

You are encouraged to attend the site visit on the 19th February 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bd99373f-568d-4b3d-9b01-eea5341b6212 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Mar 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST LANCASHIRE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | ORMSKIRK | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L39 2DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD47 Chorley and West Lancashire | | Local authority | West Lancashire | | Electoral ward | Ormskirk West | | Westminster constituency | West Lancashire | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55500000 - Canteen and catering services ## Release History - 2 Feb 2018 at 14:40 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bd99373f-568d-4b3d-9b01-eea5341b6212 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bd99373f-568d-4b3d-9b01-eea5341b6212 2nd February 2018 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.westlancs.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
