## Summary

Saltash Town Council is seeking an operator to run a cafe at Isambard House, Saltash Railway Station. The opportunity covers the provision of food, beverages and related cafe services for visitors and users of the station building. The intended delivery location is Saltash, England, at the station’s Isambard House premises. This is an operating concession rather than a supply-only opportunity: the successful party would be responsible for running the cafe service. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses specialising in cafe operation, catering, hospitality or food and beverage services are the most directly relevant potential suppliers.

The process has reached tender: Saltash Town Council invited expressions of interest through a single tender action below the applicable threshold. The council set a submission deadline of 18 September 2026 at 5:00 pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 2 December 2029. Its stated value is £20,000. The opportunity concerns one cafe operation at Isambard House, Saltash Railway Station, rather than multiple lots. Businesses need to obtain the application form and guidance notes and respond in accordance with the council’s tender requirements. The procurement uses a direct method, with the opportunity seeking an operator through a single tender process.

This opportunity suits a business or organisation able to operate a public-facing cafe and provide food and beverages from the Isambard House premises. Relevant suppliers include established cafe operators, independent hospitality businesses, caterers with cafe-management capability, and community or social-enterprise organisations with the capacity to run a trading service. The council has identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so it is not limited to large catering groups. The strongest fit will be a supplier with practical experience of day-to-day cafe operation, including managing service from a fixed customer-facing venue and organising the people, supplies and routines needed to maintain the service. The published requirement does not identify specific accreditations or technical qualifications.
