Published requirement description

Gosport Borough Council (the licensor) are conducting this procurement opportunity to allow for additional concessions within the Borough. In relation to this requirement, a concession is defined as a fixed term consent to trade from Council owned land, where no Council building exists for exclusive use.

The Council has a concessions policy which was updated in January 2023 and which will apply to all concessions granted for operation along the seafront and in the parks, gardens and open spaces owned by Gosport Borough Council. The policy provides guidance on how interested parties can apply for a licence, the process for evaluation and the terms of the licence agreement. The policy also highlights a number of potential locations within the Borough that may be suitable for specific trading concession opportunities. The policy assists the Council in supporting local businesses and enterprises to gain a platform to start, grow and succeed.

The Council have created opportunities for annual trading licences for the period commencing July 2025.
