We are therefore undertaking a soft market testing exercise in relation to the Cafe. The soft market testing is for research only and is not a request for expressions of interest or an invitation to tender. The results of the soft market testing will be used to assess TRP's approach to letting the contract. Interested catering operators should complete the questionnaire downloadable from the Delta e-tendering portal (which you can access by clicking the link on this Notice under Section 12). If you have any issues, please contract procurement@royalparks.org.uk) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.Please note that any subsequent procurement exercise following this soft market testing exercise would be a concession contract, with the final procurement procedure/process to be determined by TRP. The estimated value of the potential contract at Section 9 is based on a 5-year term, multiplied by the estimated turnover of the cafe in 2019/20. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3aeeff63-6aa1-4476-933f-770b5317c8c4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 19 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2024 - 30 Apr 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE ROYAL PARKS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W2 2UH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Hyde Park | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55520000 - Catering services ## Release History - 22 Nov 2022 at 13:10 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3aeeff63-6aa1-4476-933f-770b5317c8c4 - 22 Nov 2022 at 13:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3aeeff63-6aa1-4476-933f-770b5317c8c4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3aeeff63-6aa1-4476-933f-770b5317c8c4 22nd November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Soft-Market-Testing---White-House-Café-Catering-Concession---Greenwich-Park/EGFPJEA843 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
