Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

the provision of Catering and Events Management and associated cleaning services for an initial 2 year period, with an option to extend for a further 2 years, by mutual agreement.

The services required are based primarily around three of Barrow Borough Councils venues, in addition to occasional provision with the Town Hall itself. These are as follows:

The Forum is the Borough's premier Arts and Entertainment venue and has the following catering opportunities. It has a busy premium cafeteria which is open daily Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 4pm. In addition, there is a grab and go outlet serving takeaway drinks and snacks and a bar/restaurant which serves bar meals daily from Monday to Saturday. The main theatre seats over 500 and has a lively programme of productions, all of which are supported by a thriving bar. The venue also has a number of conference/ function rooms which are regularly used and which the catering contractor supports. The venue is frequently used for wedding receptions and other celebratory events and this is considered a prime area for business development.

The Dock Museum is Barrow Borough Council's premier tourist attraction which has an excellent year round footfall .The Museum is open Wednesdays to Sundays all year round and the cafeteria is open for drinks, light snacks and meals from 11am to 3.30pm on these days. The cafeteria also supports the Museum in its steadily building conference trade.

The Park Leisure Centre is a busy multi-disciplinary facility with two pools, a large sports hall, adult and kid's gyms and a range of other leisure activities. It is open 7 days per week (bank holidays excepted), mostly from early in the morning until the evening. Whilst currently, there is a cafeteria facility, it is envisaged that this will become a vending provision in any new contract.
