## Summary

This tender falls under the services category, specifically management-related services, and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in market management and operation, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are adaptable to potential redevelopment of the market site during the contract period. The project invites firms capable of handling both the full operation of the established market and managing a potentially reduced stall layout, making it suitable for diverse service providers in the local area looking to expand their operations.

## Notice

The District Council of Sevenoaks invites Tenders for the operation and management of the statutory based Swanley Market every Wednesday (Christmas and Public Holidays excepted) from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. (4:00 p.m. in the winter - the last Wednesday in October to the first Wednesday in April inclusive) throughout the year.Part of the current Swanley Market site may be subject to redevelopment during the course of this market contract. The redevelopment proposals, which are still subject to planning and all other necessary permissions at the time of this Invitation to Tender, may require part of the market site to be given up while redevelopment is underway. Accordingly, service providers are required to submit tenders for both the operation of the established Market and for the operation with a reduced stall layout (Lots 1 and 2). Lot 1 and Lot 2 shall be awarded together to the same service provider.
