Concessions ( Ice cream, fast food and flowers) within parks and green spaces 2015

Reference: D41751

Decision Maker: Director of Environment and Housing

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To exercise the option to extend a number of existing licences in compliance with the council’s Procurement Procedure Regulations

To issue licences to trade on a number of sites following a formal tender process.

The cumulative value of these licences is likely to exceed £250k .

The individual licence values are commercially sensitive and will be restricted in reports.

 

Decision:

The report recommends that the option to extend the current agreements is exercised for all sites, or multiples of sites where contractual extensions are possible.

 

Consequently for those sites where no option to extend exists or where traders have declined to exercise the option, these are recommended to be offered to the market along with a number of other sites that have been identified as suitable to host a trader.

 

Reason Key: Expenditure > £250,000;
