Currently the site consists of the Boat House Café, toilets, car park, lake, play and picnic areas, an events field along with large areas of open space. There are two tenanted areas used for flying model aircraft and miniature gauge railway. A shared access road provides both for the coastal park and also the adjacent Sea Cadet Corps. As well as being an active leisure site, the coastal park also has extensive wildlife and biodiversity habitats and these remain important to both protect and potentially utilise as a resource. The Council provided a new toilet block, including showers and ancillary facilities, in 2023. These are available for the benefit of visitors to Bartons Point. The existing drainage provision is via a cesspool. The Council is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for two opportunities at Barton’s Point Coastal Park. The Council is open to EOI’s for each of Lots 1 and 2, individually or consolidated proposals which seek to meet both requirements. For both opportunities, the Council is seeking experienced operators that can demonstrate not only the financial viability of any proposals but also how social value will be delivered. Proposals also need to be sympathetic to the ecology of the site, with consideration for the environment and wildlife and the adjacent Queenborough Lines waterway, which is a scheduled ancient monument. Whilst acknowledging there is a seasonality to the types and level of activity on the site, the Council is keen to encourage activity throughout the year and this will be reflected in how proposals are considered. As the site has multiple users, with other leased areas, it is also important that proposals can work alongside or with these. It is anticipated that the Council will continue to provide basic grounds maintenance services to the whole site. The playground and bridge also remain the council’s responsibility. Operators on site will be responsible for general site maintenance relating to their activity, such as litter generated from their operations, signage for activities etc. Lot 1: The Old Boathouse Café The old boathouse is a block frame, timber clad building with corrugated roof of the shore of the lake with a self-contained patio area (please see map 1 below). The property provides a good opportunity for a provider to deliver a food & beverage provision for the coastal park and a lease will be offered to the preferred bidder, when identified. The Council is keen that bidders should ... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/barton-s-point-coastal-park-catering-and-educational-opportunities-ocds-h6vhtk-06f0fb) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 55520000, 80000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 01/12/2026 to 31/10/2029 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F083335-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-09-03T09:21:28.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-21T12:56:12.761Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06f0fb
