## Summary

Bangor University procured a mobile catering concession at Treborth Botanic Gardens in Bangor. The requirement is for a supplier to provide and operate a mobile catering unit at the gardens, delivering catering services for the specified operating period, including the agreed months, days and hours. This is a catering services opportunity, classified under CPV 55523000, for catering services to institutions and other organisations. The buying organisation is Prifysgol Bangor / Bangor University, a Welsh public authority. Delivery and service provision are at Treborth Botanic Gardens in Bangor, North Wales. The arrangement is structured as a concession, so the successful operator is responsible for running the mobile catering service at the university’s botanic gardens site.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It had one lot and one bid was received, including one final-stage bid from an SME. Bangor University awarded the concession to Fab Food and Coffee Ltd on 27 July 2026. The award value is £140,000 excluding VAT, or £168,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, or parts thereof, allowing the arrangement to run no later than 28 February 2030. A future contract-signature milestone was scheduled for 1 October 2026. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement at Bangor University for an external operator able to provide mobile catering within a university botanic-gardens setting. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need an established mobile food and beverage operation, suitable equipment, dependable staffing and the capacity to maintain service across the operating days and hours required by the site. Experience of running concessions for public, educational, cultural or visitor-focused venues would help demonstrate credibility, as would evidence of consistent service delivery and operational resilience. The previous award went to an SME after a limited competition, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national caterer. Relevant businesses should monitor this buyer’s concession needs and prepare evidence of comparable mobile catering performance.
