The procurement falls under the industry category of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 16th June 2025. This procurement process involves an open competition method and is designed to support and promote local businesses by offering annual trading licences starting from July 2025. The concessions include several lots at various locations such as People's Park, Gosport Waterfront, and Alver Valley among others, with an overall contract value estimated at £100,000 GBP. This tender provides significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in food and beverage services, to establish a presence in notable locations within Gosport. Concessions at high-traffic sites like People's Park and Stokes Bay offer businesses the opportunity to tap into robust visitor numbers, especially during the summer months. Businesses best suited for this procurement would be those with a keen interest in leveraging popular local spots for growth through catering or retail operations, given the focus on competitive offerings with the highest offer as the criterion for awarding contracts. With a transparent, open competition process, this tender can be a promising avenue for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the local market. ## Notice Gosport Borough Council (the licensor) are conducting this procurement opportunity to allow for additional concessions within the Borough. In relation to this requirement, a concession is defined as a fixed term consent to trade from Council owned land, where no Council building exists for exclusive use. The Council has a concessions policy which was updated in January 2023 and which will apply to all concessions granted for operation along the seafront and in the parks, gardens and open spaces owned by Gosport Borough Council. The policy provides guidance on how interested parties can apply for a licence, the process for evaluation and the terms of the licence agreement. The policy also highlights a number of potential locations within the Borough that may be suitable for specific trading concession opportunities. The policy assists the Council in supporting local businesses and enterprises to gain a platform to start, grow and succeed. The Council have created opportunities for annual trading licences for the period commencing July 2025. ### Lot Information People's Park, Gosport Waterfront (Drink) Lot 1 is for a larger bar facility (i.e. the sale of alcohol and other drinks) at the People's Park, Gosport Waterfront.
