BaDC-1598 Buttermarket Food Hall Fit Out and Operator for Bassetlaw District Council

Bassetlaw District Council wishes to conduct market consultation with relevant providers in relation to its operator procurement for a culinary focused venue in the redeveloped Buttermarket in Retford Town Hall. This could include but not limited to; site operations, events management and marketing, and building maintenance services. The engagement will support the development of the future service delivery specification and provide an opportunity for providers to contribute to the specification and redevelopment process itself. Please note that this notice does not commit the Council to any future competition or award. The soft market testing exercise is intended to allow interested organisations with appropriate experience to outline their views and ideas about the future provision of the Buttermarket Food Hall. The Council will consider the responses received as a result of this exercise to help inform the delivery specification and the redevelopment design. Suppliers are welcome to view the opportunity on the East Mids Tenders portal using the link below: https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0e57f92c-f7dc-f011-813c-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 The deadline for submission fo the soft market testing is: 12 noon 23rd January 2026.
