BRIEF FOR KIOSKS AT THE COLONNADE, BEXHILL

Rother District Council is now inviting proposals from businesses interested in trading from the 7 kiosks which form part of the Council’s prestigious redevelopment at The Colonnade, Bexhill-on-Sea.

The kiosks will be offered on non-secure leases for a period of one year, and whilst the Council has set out its required minimum rental, rental offers are invited. The proposed Heads of Terms for the leases are set out below.

If you are interested in renting a kiosk please let us have an expression of interest setting out your rental offer, together with a description of the product range that you propose to sell from the kiosk, and any other supporting information you may wish to provide about your business.

Preference will be given to businesses that offer high quality products and that contribute positively to the quality and range of products available in Bexhill as a whole. The Council will also have regard to the overall mix of businesses across all 7 kiosks.

In order to avoid any direct competition with the Tenant of the main restaurant area at The Colonnade it is unlikely that we will favour food or drinks outlets unless these are providing a separate and distinctive offer.

A set of sales particulars is attached.
