Pilot Concession Opportunities

Tender description

<p>The Council has received numerous ideas and enquiries recently regarding the operation of additional concessions at various locations in the Borough. In response to enquiries, a draft Concessions Policy has been developed against which future opportunities and bids for concessions will be considered and to give guidance on how to fairly manage expressions of interest in a fair, open and transparent way leading to the successful take up of commercial concessions opportunities for Gosport. The policy assists the Council in supporting local businesses and enterprises to gain a platform to start, grow and succeed. Currently there is a public consultation in progress for the policy which will assist with assessing the public demand and business attitude to new concessions locations and opportunities. However, it is likely that most of these opportunities will not be ready to launch until 2023. As such, the council have created three pilot opportunities for this summer season 2022. The opportunities are for three different business types to trade in three different locations for Summer 2022 from 10 June - 30 September. These three pilot concessions will give the council a chance to test the policy, areas, and types of concessions, whilst also offering opportunity to businesses for the up-coming season in Gosport to thrive and grow.
