This tender aims to centralize land and property solutions while maximizing social and economic returns for Bristol. The engagement of a single concessionaire with food industry expertise is sought to deliver a full range of services. Interested organizations must submit the Soft Market Testing document via ProContract by 12:00 on Monday 15th July 2024. This tender by Bristol City Council presents an opportunity for businesses with expertise in catering services to compete for a concessions contract. The contract value will be based on the concessionaire's turnover generated over the contract duration. Businesses should review the outlined deliverables and the procurement route to determine their suitability for this opportunity. ## Notice The council is currently implementing a Corporate Landlord model. This will see a centralised approach to lead the delivery of efficient, effective and sustainable land and property solutions whilst maximising social and economic returns for Bristol and its residents. The ownership of the new arrangements for Catering and Events will be the responsibility of the Corporate Landlord to support obtaining maximum value from our estate. The client function with responsibility for the contractual arrangements will sit within the Corporate Landlord operating model, which will be enabled by a defined business management function. To simplify and streamline our contract estate and drive improved returns from this valuable and diverse range of premises we are looking to engage a single concessionaire with specialist food industry expertise to assume delivery responsibility for the full suite of services under a consolidated concessionary agreement. We wish to test the level of market interest in this potential contract. The soft market testing document provides a brief outline of our current position, and the desired deliverables from the potential new contractual arrangement and the proposed procurement route. The level of interest shown in this opportunity and the information provided by respondents will enable the Council to determine the procurement route for this contract. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The council is currently implementing a Corporate Landlord model.
