This opportunity falls under the catering services category and is located in Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 noon on 4th October 2019. This framework agreement will be effective for four years, commencing from 1st November 2019 until 31st October 2023. Bidders can apply for multiple pitches among the 55 available in the council parks. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in food services or mobile catering. Businesses that are registered food establishments with a Food Hygiene Rating of 4 or 5 will find themselves well-suited to compete. Given the diverse options for ice cream, hot and cold food services across various pitches, this tender allows multiple suppliers to participate, thereby increasing competition and the potential for business expansion in the local area. ## Notice The Council wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of mobile catering services in Council parks. There are a total of 55 pitches which are either ice cream only, hot & cold food, and/or hot food only. The number of pitches in each park varies from multiple in a park to an individual pitch in smaller parks. Bidders can submit for one, multiple or all pitches. Each pitch will have an operating licence granted for a period of 4 years until 2023. Prospective operators must be registered with their Local Authority as a food business and will be expected to meet all Food Safety requirements as laid out in Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013 and the Food Information Regulations 2014. Mobile food operators must have a rating of 4 or 5 under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. Sub-licencing of the operating licence granted is expressly prohibited. The Framework Agreement will last for 4 years.
