Expressions of interest invited for new West Wickham Library café

GLL is seeking an experienced, creative, professional catering operator to deliver a successful café in West Wickham Library, located at Glebe Way, in the heart of the community. The Library is being refurbished and is due to re-open in April 2025. 
  
In addition to providing a high quality service with great value product options, a key outcome also sought by this expression of interest is to provide meaningful opportunity to the community – whether through employment, social inclusion, economic or environmental benefits. 
  
This exciting and unique opportunity demands a strong emphasis on customer experience, innovative product options and the ability to meet the needs of library customers and local residents. 
  
The entire space, including counter, seating area and storage is 85m2 on the ground floor and mezzanine level. 
  
It is anticipated that the operator will offer pre-prepared food which can either be delivered daily, or stored in the provided on-site facilities which include fridge, freezer and shelving.
