News MBC looking for catering company for Mote Park

Maidstone Borough Council (MBC), is looking for a mobile catering company to provide hot and cold food and drink for visitors to the prestigious Mote Park from August 2020 until September 2021.

The Mote Park Café closed in April 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic has delayed the construction of a new Visitor Centre to be based there.  As an interim measure, Maidstone Borough Council is looking to introduce mobile catering in Mote Park for 12 months from August 2020 until the new Visitor Centre opens to the public.

The successful bidder will provide a range of catering options to thousands of park visitors who come from across Kent to use the park’s facilities including three children’s play areas, Mote Park Outdoor Adventure, water sports centre, lake, sports pitches and miniature railway.

Anyone who is interested in supplying the catering service should visit www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk where they can view the full tender specification and submit their responses.

Please note that the deadline for responses is 12pm on Friday 7 August 2020.
