## Summary

Portsmouth City Council is announcing the award of a catering concession for Guildhall Square spanning 2019 to 2021. This opportunity targets qualified operators to provide a mobile hot and cold food and drink service, with a contract period commencing on 1st October 2019. The successful operator will trade seven days a week from 08:00 to 21:00, with the concession requiring a minimum rental income of £9,000 per annum, alongside potential turnover share proposals. Notably, trading will be restricted between 12th November 2019 and 15th January 2020 due to temporary events in the square.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthy food and beverage offerings, particularly in the restaurant and catering sectors. Enterprises well-positioned to compete are those that can deliver a diverse menu aligned with the Council's preferences, whilst complying with regulations prohibiting alcohol sales. This contract not only offers a chance to establish a recurring revenue stream but also enhances visibility in a vibrant public location, making it an appealing prospect for established and emerging catering businesses alike.
