## Summary

The procurement process for running the Thorne Memorial Park Cafe in Doncaster was initiated by Thorne Moorends Town Council. The tender, classified under the food and beverage industry, sought a supplier to manage the café situated in the historic and scenic six-acre Thorne Memorial Park. The tender proceeded with a direct procurement approach via a single tender action, which was below threshold. Initially published on 9th April 2025, the procurement moved to the award stage with Haydar Zafer Dirik being the successful supplier. The award was confirmed on 17th June 2025, with the contract valued at £18,000 starting on 7th July 2025 and concluding on 7th July 2028.

This opportunity presents various avenues for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The contract involves operating within a high footfall area, which has recently benefited from infrastructural investments such as an upgraded play park, enhancing potential customer traffic. Businesses specialising in hospitality or those with a strong catering background are well-suited to leverage the park's popularity, especially during summer events and local festivities. Additionally, compliance with health and safety, food hygiene, and insurance requirements is crucial for tender qualification.
