Make finding new retail tenders simple with Hospitality Tenders

Are you looking to source new retail tenders? Great, you’re in the right place!

Here at Hospitality Tenders, we source retail tenders from hundreds of buyers across the UK, all in one place. Basically, we make your search for new opportunities a breeze!

In this blog, we look at three types of retail tenders you can bid on and where to find them.

3 types of retail tenders you could bid on

Companies will issue retail tenders for a number of reasons, depending on what type of business they are. This could include those who require retail services within their organisation, or retailers that require additional services. Here are just three examples of the type of retail tenders you could bid for:

1. Retail staff

Companies may have a retail space or concession and require an attendant to operate this for them. For example, a university could have stationery shops across multiple areas that need managers and staff members. Here is an example of this type of retail tender we have previously sourced on Hospitality Tenders:

Student Centre Retail Partner

Queen’s University Belfast – Northern Ireland – Budget: Undisclosed

2. Concessions/kiosks

When a buyer is posting this type of retail tender, then they are looking to outsource retailers. This will be to either occupy an existing kiosk or to invite them to have a concession at their premises. You will usually find this within public areas, such as parks or for events. Here is an example we have previously sourced on this portal:

Christmas Tree Rental Concession Contract in Morden Park

London Borough of Merton – London – Budget: Undisclosed

3. Consultants

Businesses may require the support of Retail Consultants. A Consultant could be brought in to help with training or to offer advice to improve the efficiency of services. Here’s an example of this type of tender that we’ve previously sourced on the portal:

The Provision of Specialist Retail Support for Town Centres

Knowsley Council – North West – Budget: Undisclosed

This tender was the result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Retailers needed support in adjusting to new safety measures that were being put into place. This contract, in particular, was to offer training to retail staff on how to effectively implement the changes.
