## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney has announced the awarding of a contract for the operation of the Clissold Park Cafe, located in one of Hackney's most popular parks, which attracts around 3 million visitors annually. The contract, which falls under the canteen and catering services industry category, was awarded following an open procurement procedure. The awarded contract is valued at £4,900,000 and will commence on 3rd March 2025, lasting until 3rd March 2030. The procurement stage is complete as of the award date of 25th February 2025. The awarded supplier is Fink's Salt and Sweet LLP, a local small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), which will manage the café for up to seven years.

The arrangement, which requires the operator to take responsibility for further capital investment on a partially furnished space, is particularly suited for businesses skilled in creating inviting and functional dining environments.
