Invitation to Tender for the Provision of Indoor Catering Services Concession Contract for Bloom 2027+
The contract covers the provision of indoor catering services for Bord Bia Bloom 2027 and subsequent editions, delivered as a concession arrangement at the Phoenix Park in Dublin. The buyer is Bord Bia, the Irish Food Board, a public-sector organisation responsible for supporting and promoting Ireland’s food, drink and horticulture sectors. The appointed provider will be expected to plan and operate indoor food and beverage catering facilities for the event, providing reliable service to visitors and meeting the required catering, hospitality and operational standards. The estimated value is £1,800,000, representing potential earnings under the concession rather than a payment by the buyer, and the term is described as Bloom 2027+. Delivery will take place in Phoenix Park, Dublin, within the IE061 region. The critical qualification requirement is that bidders must be suitably experienced and qualified service providers capable of delivering event catering at the required scale.
