Description
The Council seeks supplier(s) for the supply and delivery of ice cream products in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The tender is divided into two lots, one for impulse ice cream and the other for scoop ice cream and accessories. Bidders are able to Bid for a single lot or both lots. The Council currently has 20 trading outlets along the seafront which the supplier(s) will be required to supply as well as five park cafés, two museums, a country park and a visitor centre. The Council reserves the right to ask the supplier(s) to supply further units and the Council reserves the right to close sites as well as move sites to new locations. The estimated value of the contract including any possible extensions is up to £2,500,000. However, Bidders should note that the spend per annum for each Lot is currently at the below levels: • Lot 1 – Impulse Ice Cream – Approximate spend £90,000 per annum • Lot 2 – Scoop Ice Cream and Accessories – Approximate spend £260,000 per annum However, to allow for potential increase in spend, the contract value has been set at up for £500,000 per annum. BCP Council does not guarantee any volume of supply during the term of the contract. The volume of supply is dependent on the number of operating units and demand. The demand is strongly led by the season, weather, school holidays as well as events such as the Bournemouth Air Show.
