## Summary

The King Edward Mine Cafe Agreement is a public procurement process initiated by Cornwall Council to establish a new café within the refurbished Assay Office at King Edward Mine, located in Troon, near Camborne. This tender was classified under the restaurant and food-serving services industry and was published on 6th October 2015. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the tender period closed on 13th November 2015. The contract, awarded on 16th March 2017, has a total value of £26,500 and is set for a five-year duration, commencing on 1st July 2016 and concluding on 30th June 2021.

This opportunity presents significant avenues for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) keen on catering services. By running the café, successful bidders can enhance local visitor experiences and promote community engagement, thereby contributing to increased leisure traffic to the King Edward Mine Museum. Businesses with a focus on environmentally sustainable practices, local sourcing, and community-centred services would be particularly well-suited to participate in this concession.

## Notice

A new cafe is being created in the newly refurbished Assay Office at King Edward Mine, Troon, Nr Camborne. The cafe operation should add value to the visitor and community offer at King Edward Mine, achieve good feedback from all users and should include consideration of local sourcing of employment and products, as well as good environmental credentials, such as for recycling. KEM Ltd wishes to offer the cafe as a concession and is looking for a business to come forward to run the cafe and help raise the profile of King Edward Mine Museum as a 'gateway' to the Great Flat Lode historic landscape. Our aim is to attract more leisure visitors from across Cornwall and beyond, and also for King Edward Mine to be used as a social hub for the surrounding communities. This is being offered on the basis of a 5 year agreement from July 2016.
