Tender description

The Contractor will be responsible for the effective running of the Pavilion building within Alexandra Park. This will include the public toilet facilities, community room facility and a retail café offer. We are looking for a contractor who will: • Provide a well-run Cafe which offers food and drink on a high quality and value for money basis; • Operate the Café and Pavilion with a wider community benefit for example supporting apprenticeships and community events; • Be responsible for the day to day management and maintenance of the Pavilion including café, picnic area, community space, and public toilets; • Be responsible for managing the usage/hiring of the community space; • Work effectively with the sporting teams using the park to provide a home for their club in the Pavilion facility. The Cafe will need to operate hours that complement the activities in the park, e.g. school holiday times, weekends during peak season (April to September), Bank Holidays and during park events and any other event times as and when these arise. We are open to explore extended opening hours options in the summer months to support of a programme of community events such as comedy or music nights. During the summer period it is expected that the Café will operate 7 days per week. During the winter period (October to March) it is expected that the Café will operate a minimum of 5 days per week to include Saturday and Sunday. Keywords: Alexandra Park Pavilion, Café, Concession
