## Summary

The Portsmouth City Council is seeking to finalise the Event Catering Concessions 2018, aimed at appointing catering operators for three major events in Portsmouth: the Lord Mayor's Rural and Seaside Show from 5th to 7th May, Armed Forces Day on 30th June, and the Portsmouth International Kite Festival on 11th and 12th August. The tender process has already concluded with an open procurement method, and although the tender period ended on 16th March 2018, the contracts will span from 1st April to 31st August 2018. Key expectations include the provision of food and drink units, with potential suppliers advised to review the application guidelines for the tender requirements.

This opportunity provides a platform for food and drink providers to enhance their market presence through participation in high-profile local events. Businesses specialising in hot and cold catering, including meals, snacks, and beverages, would be particularly well-suited for this tender. It presents a chance for both small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as larger firms, to expand their operations and customer base while serving thousands of attendees during the festival period.
