The project falls under the services sector and is classified as a concession contract. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing any supplier to submit bids, with the tender period having closed on 27th May 2019. The awarded contract, valued at £1,400,000, was signed on 26th September 2019. The location for service delivery is Aberdeen City. This tender presents significant opportunities for food service businesses, particularly those with experience in catering for public events and private functions. Companies that excel in providing high-quality hospitality in cultural venues, and have proven operational synergy with client teams, will find themselves at an advantage. The nature of the contract allows the potential for expansion, as future opportunities may arise for similar services at associated cultural sites such as the Maritime Museum. ## Notice Provision of Catering Services for Aberdeen Art Gallery Museum. (Concession Contract) ### Lot Information Lot 1 Aberdeen City Council's requirements are to ensure potential Caterers provide public and private catering services at the Art Gallery, in two public spaces, the Cafe and the Coffee Bar. This includes appropriate catering offer at private events such as exhibition openings, meetings and sponsor and donor receptions, which occur throughout both the buildings complex. The catering offer at these venues must reflect and embody the essence of what the Art Gallery is to become when it reopens in Autumn 2019. It is a critical element in setting the tone of the front-of-house customer experience and it should be seen as one of the integral elements contributing to the overall visitor experience. The key to ensuring that the catering experience only ever enhances the experience of visiting the Gallery will be a genuine meeting of approach, ethos and operational style between the Caterer and the Aberdeen City Council team.. There might be a potential to increase the scope of the contract to include Maritime Museum in the future.
