## About this tender

The Royal Parks is seeking a small-scale, high quality catering operator to manage, under a concession contract, the new North Lodge Café at Brompton Cemetery. Attracting over 700,000 visitors per annum and currently undergoing a major £6.2m (£4.5m from the HLF and BIG Lottery 'Parks for People' programme) restoration and refurbishment programme, Brompton Cemetery is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. North Lodge Café is a newly created, fully fitted out café located within the west wing of the Grade II listed North Lodge building. The café is located within a busy commuter area with West Brompton and Earls Court Underground stations close by.

Situated within the heart of the Kensington and Chelsea environment, it is expected that the café will embed many social enterprise principles and develop strong connections with local residents and communities. The opportunity is likely to suit a small catering company or social enterprise with previous experience of managing catering operations.

The four-year concession contract will commence in early 2018.

Given that this will be a new venture and that therefore no historic turnover figures are available, please note that the contract value stated in this advert is an estimate only of total anticipated turnover over the contract term.
