## About this tender

Eastbourne Borough Council is undertaking a £45M renovation and development of its primary leisure and cultural asset at Devonshire Park and, as part of this, an exciting opportunity will arise to become the catering partner of a range of fixed outlets and events

We are now seeking Expressions of Interest to be the catering partner for this unique opportunity. Eastbourne is a premier destination which welcomes over 5m visitors each year, offering a wealth of attractions and appealing to a diverse audience.

The Devonshire Park Centre is fundamental to the visitor experience with the multi-use site ensuring the facilities are used all year round. With over 600 theatre shows from top comedians to west end musicals frequently selling out to enthralled audiences.

The complex attracts over 270,000 patrons each year and a further 15,000 conference delegates. Enviable banqueting space with capacity up to 800 means it’s the first choice for awards ceremonies, charity fundraisers and Christmas party nights. Over 8,000 people enjoyed fine dining and over 200 meetings and events were held within the complex.

The procurement of selecting the catering partner will be two staged. The first stage, this Expression of Interest ('EOI') period, will run until 28th October 2016. All interested parties are invited to complete the short EOI form and submit the initial details requested by this date to the InTend portal.
