The requirement is to provide catering services from a vehicle or trailer, selling hot and cold food to park users. Ice cream and iced confectioneries must not be sold. This is a public catering service rather than a conventional supply contract, with the operator responsible for bringing and running the mobile catering facility at the park. The procurement is classified under catering services (CPV 55520000). The concession is for one lot and relates specifically to Riverside Park, Glenrothes. It suits businesses able to provide on-site food and drink sales from a suitable mobile unit while meeting the operating requirements set by the council. The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted electronically in English by 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were opened at the same time, and evaluation was scheduled to begin then. The contract period is 1,800 days, approximately five years, starting from the contract commencement arrangements. The opportunity is divided into one lot. Alternative bids are not allowed, and the successful operator must comply with all statutory requirements applying to operation of the concession. The council indicates that the catering requirement is likely to continue beyond this procurement. The tender is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This opportunity suits an established mobile catering operator, café business or food trader with a suitable vehicle or trailer and the practical capacity to serve customers at a public park. Suppliers should be able to prepare and sell both hot and cold food on site, manage day-to-day trading from a mobile unit, and comply with all statutory requirements governing the concession. The restriction on ice cream and iced confectioneries is central to the operating model, so businesses whose offer depends on those products are unlikely to be suitable. The requirement could provide a substantial operating period for a supplier with reliable equipment, food-service processes and experience delivering compliant public-facing catering. Responses must be prepared in English. ## Notice We are seeking offers for the provision of catering services in Riverside Park, Glenrothes from a vehicle/trailer for the sale of hot and cold food.
