This project, categorised under canteen and catering services, aims to establish a café in the new mental health hospital located on Haxby Road, York, which is expected to open in spring 2020. There is a critical engagement deadline of 20th March 2019 for interested parties. A market engagement event to discuss the plans and requirements will take place on 4th April 2019 at York St John University Sports Park, with presentations starting at 10:30 AM and opportunities for individual consultations thereafter. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses passionate about healthy eating and social responsibility, particularly those focused on mental health recovery initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the Trust advocates for a café that can provide work experience and voluntary roles for individuals who have used mental health services. Interested businesses can leverage the expected foot traffic from hospital staff and nearby student populations, making this a prime opportunity to engage in community-focused service provisions. ## Notice MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT An exciting new opportunity to provide the cafe in York's new mental health hospital. We will be opening the new mental health hospital on Haxby Road in York in spring 2020 and have designed a cafe in the main entrance area as an important focal point for service users, carers, staff and visitors. The hospital will accommodate 72 beds across 4 wards and it is anticipated that there will be approximately 100 staff on site each day. Additionally there is a student campus next door which may provide further footfall opportunities. Local engagement has identified a need for provision of hot and cold drinks and snacks, and potential vending opportunities. A focus on healthy eating will be essential. The preference is for the cafe to provide recovery opportunities such as work experience and voluntary roles for people who are in receipt of or have used mental health services. This ethos is aligned to the Trust's recovery principles. If your organisation is passionate about providing a cafe of this nature, and you are keen to embed a recovery focus we would like to hear from you. We are holding a market engagement event to present the hospital plans and talk through what is required. There will also be opportunity to ask questions and for 1:1 meetings if required.
