Plymouth City Council is inviting submissions for catering and bar concessions, and Fairground tenders at Bonfire Night on 5 November 2024.
Catering and Bar Concessions
The catering and bar concession will sell food, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages at Bonfire Night for a one year period on 5 November 2024.
Plymouth City Council encourages healthy eating, the use of local produce and sustainability.
It is anticipated that this event will attract circa 27,000 at any one time, which in turn will generate a demand for food catering. This is an annual event which is well attended and it is also anticipated that there will be a fair ground on the Hoe as well. The bonfire will be lit at 7pm with the fireworks display commencing at 7.30pm.
Catering will operate on Sunday 5 November from 5pm until 10pm.
Submissions will be evaluated on:
- Environmental sustainability including reduction of single use plastics – 10%
- Evidence of local procurement including stock and sub-contractors – 10%
- Management competency and experience – 20%
- Quality and suitability of outlets submitted – 10%
