CAFÉ MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
AYLESBURY VALE DISTRICT COUNCIL GATEWAY OFFICES AND CONFERENCE CENTRE
Aylesbury Vale District Council is tendering the Management Contract for the operation of
its Café for the Gateway offices and conference centre in Aylesbury. The Gateway
represents a modern and high specification office suite for the local authority and other
public bodies, hosting up to 350 employees. The conference centre offers facilities for some
300, and whilst forming part of the Gateway offices complex is also capable of separate use.
The Council requires a high standard of catering for their staff and hospitality services for
both internal AVDC events and meetings and external hirers events and meetings, and is
now seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from potential service providers wishing to tender
to provide their café requirements.
There are two facilities at the location:
• A cafe with provision for some 50 No covers, used daily Monday - Friday by staff and open to visitors attending the conference centre, as well as the public (although not advertised as such);
• A conference centre which is used for internal Council and Council-sponsored events and also external events, meetings and functions.
The successful bidder will provide catering services within the Café and for the day to day
hospitality requirements within the Conference Centre. Further detail will be provided in the
tender documents. The Council is looking to receive an income from the contractor as a
part of this contract. Further details will be provided within the tender documentation.
The Council seeks expressions of interest from suitably experienced organisations for the
provision of the services required under this contractual concession.
All contractors expressing an interest will be required to complete a Supplier Selection
Questionnaire. The SSQ is designed to assess the applicant's financial standing and technical
capacity as well as to determine whether there are any legal impediments to the applicant's
further participation in the process.
The information disclosed in the SSQ, once it has been completed by your organisation, will
be used to short-list those applicants to be invited to submit tenders for the contract.
