What is being bought

Published requirement description

Sheffield Museums Trust (SMT) is an independent charitable trust which manage, develop and share the City of Sheffield’s extensive and prestigious collections of art, history and science.

SMT invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced catering companies for the opportunity to operate the cafes at either one or two of our prestigious sites, Millennium Gallery and Weston Park Museum.

We are seeking an ambitious café operator who will meet our high expectations of quality; drive growth and income; and work with Sheffield Museums to ensure that we offer all our visitors an excellent welcome and experience. We are looking to increase the income generated by our café sites through creativity of offer and vibrancy of the sites.
