Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Finance introduced the report which explained that the recreational facilities in the parks had been let to the Cheltenham Coffee Company Limited (CCC) since 1 March 2011 when it was awarded the contract to operate the facilities, and granted leases of the premises, following a formal tender process. CCC had made a success out of all the cafes and opening hours had increased and the business had developed. The Council and CCC now wished to renew the leases and contract that were in place. A term from 1 March 2014 until 4 August 2015 had been agreed. The Cabinet Member Finance made reference to a more general review of catering facilities which was taking place currently and this included the lease for the café at Leisure@ which expired in 2015.
The Cabinet Member Sustainability paid tribute to the success of the CCC and the fact that this was one of the first commissioning exercises the Council had undertaken. CCC had done an excellent job in managing the cafes and promoting its business in the parks.
