About

Birmingham City Council awarded concession contracts to Barista Express, Kays ices, Khatkar Company Uk, Mac's ices, MMW, Shufflebottom's catering, and Verrecchia Ices for the provision of mobile catering services in parks.

The contracts, valued at approximately AUD 822,280, grant each supplier a concession contract/operating licence for a period of 4 years from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2028, with the exception of the Boldmere Gate (Sutton Park) pitch, which is for 2 years from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2026, with an option to extend for a further 2 years.

The agreements are income-only contracts, with one supplier awarded per pitch, and operations limited to designated pitch locations within the parks during the parks' opening hours.

***Insight: This award reflects Birmingham City Council's strategy to generate income from park concessions while providing diverse mobile catering options.

The multi-supplier award across various pitches indicates a competitive process, with local and specialized vendors securing rights."
