Country Park Café

Alternative options considered

Do not offer a lease and look to establish a
further management contract however this would result in a gap in
service provision and require additional Legal and Procurement
work.
The Council operate and manage the space directly. However, this
would require a substantial resource and there are also issues with
regards TUPE regulations employment rights that would need to be
addressed in this scenario. Significantly increased management and
operational demands would be required, and these are not available
to the Council at this time.
As the current contract is due to expire at the end of December
2025, to do nothing is not an option.
