RBGE wishes to appoint an event production and management company to design, manage and deliver a festive light trail under the terms of a concession agreement.
Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) is seeking a single supplier to operate the visitor and events catering service at the Botanic in Edinburgh within existing visitor catering facilities at the John Hope Gateway, Terrace Café and external/takeaway operation at East Gate; in addition to event venues at Caledonian Hall, John Hope Gateway and locations elsewhere in the Garden. The Caterer will be encouraged to maximise catering opportunities, using existing space to its potential and extending opportunities where possible, considering other areas by agreement with RBGE. RBGE wishes to develop a sustainable, creative and innovative partnership for catering, to best meet the needs of the existing customer base, attract new markets and maximise the overall commercial opportunity.
The purpose of this project is to increase the unrestricted income stream through donations given and to find new ways of encouraging membership sign up when members of the public visit the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. In addition, to mobilise public support for fundraising appeals in line with organisational goals.
