In plain English
Burnley Borough Council is looking for a business to run the ice cream concession in Towneley Park, selling ice cream, sweets and cold drinks from mobile vans. The contract runs for five years, from 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2032, and is estimated to be worth £320,000 in total.
What the buyer wants
• Submit a completed tender form, a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (a standard set of questions about your company's experience, finances and policies), and signed certificates confirming your bid was made independently and in good faith. • Show you have the resources, experience and vehicles to trade from mobile vans in the park for the full five years, and agree to the Council's Licence Agreement terms. • Provide evidence of your business's financial standing, insurance and food safety compliance so the Council can judge whether you can run the concession reliably.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A business without suitable mobile catering vans, the funds to buy or lease them, and the financial strength to commit to a five-year concession worth around £320,000 would likely be ruled out.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
