We are inviting food and novelty traders to express an interest in catering for a number of large events delivered by council.
This assessment will be on a pass/fail basis, using the following scoring methodology.
| Pass |
The applicant has fully demonstrated its ability to meet the specification of requirements |
| Fail |
The applicant has failed to sufficiently demonstrate its ability to meet the specification of requirements |
Applicants must not make assumptions that we have prior knowledge of their organisation or their service provision.
Expressions of Interest will only be assessed on the information provided in submissions.
Following assessment of all Expressions of Interest, a shortlist of eligible applicants (made up of those tenderers who have met all the minimum standards) will be prepared and the council may decide to follow a procurement process.
This would comprise a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire and Invitation to Tender and be issued to the shortlist of applicants who have passed all the requirements of this EOI.
The award criteria, against which any tender proposals will be evaluated, will be detailed in the Invitation to Tender if it is decided to follow this process.
Traders will expected to furnish the council with a quote based on the size and nature of their business which details what they are willing to pay to trade at the proposed event for which they are being asked to quote for.
Closing date
Expressions of interest should be completed and returned electronically by Monday 24 March 2024.
