This project aims to invite tenders for high-quality business activities at this historically significant site, which is situated on the Southsea seafront in Hampshire. The tender's closing date is set for 11 January 2019, with a preference for the chosen operator to launch by Easter 2019 at the latest. The contract is intended to run from 11 February 2019 to 10 February 2024, with the initial lease term lasting ten years, extendable to twenty, contingent upon agreement. This opportunity presents a significant prospect for businesses in the hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services sector, especially those capable of delivering a high-quality, commercial offering that complements the site's unique setting. Companies specialising in hospitality, catering, entertainment, or recreational services would be particularly well-suited to bid for this contract, which includes not only a rental income but also a share of turnover from the operations. Successful candidates will have the chance to engage with a vibrant community, given Lumps Fort's location near popular attractions such as the Southsea Rose Gardens and Canoe Lake. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council 'the Authority' is inviting tenders from Operators for the running of high quality business activities at Lumps Fort, Southsea. The Fort dates from the 18th Century and is a locally listed building with significant historical importance. Located on Southsea seafront, the Fort is home to the Southsea Rose Gardens, a beautiful and peaceful garden of reflection and the Model Village. Adjacent is Canoe Lake which is a busy and vibrant destination for families and children, particularly during the summer months. The area, along with the numerous sporting facilities available nearby, sees significant footfall along all pedestrian routes. The Authority is offering a floor space of approximately 213m2 (2,300ft2) at Lumps Fort. The premises consist of two large open spaces and several small spaces off the main area. There may also be opportunity to utilise outside space. The Authority is seeking an Operator who can deliver a high quality, commercial offer in keeping with the premises' location which maximises the premises' unique setting and is complementary to the local area. The Authority will require the Operator to work collaboratively on mutually incentivised open book partnership basis. The Operator will be required to cover all capital costs including for fit out, statutory approvals, service connections, etc. and all ongoing maintenance costs in accordance with the lease agreement. The Authority's preference is for the Operator to have opened the new business venture by Easter 2019 but no later than Summer 2019. The initial lease term will be for 10 years extendable up to a maximum total term of 20 years in increments to be agreed. The Authority's preference will be for the lease and associated contract to include for a mid-point break clause. The Authority is seeking an income of PS75,000 over the initial 5 year term. The Authority's preference is to achieve a rental income from year 1 but will consider proposals that include for a stepped arrangement. The Authority is ideally seeking an additional 5% share of turnover with the preference being for the turnover share to apply from the outset. Proposals where the income to the Authority is on a non-guaranteed basis (for example solely via turnover share) will be considered on the basis that, should income projections not be realised, the Authority reserves the right to inspect operating accounts on an open book basis and issue an Improvement Notice. Where the Operator does not meet the requirements of the Improvement Notice, the Authority reserves the right to terminate the contract and lease. The Authority's preference is to include for a rent review clause to be applied every 3 years in line with standard practice but is open to offers which do not include for this. The Authority is applying the following procurement timetable and process in order to make an award to the successful Operator by no l...
