Reel in a Unique Catering Contract for Aberdeenshire Council

Aberdeenshire Council is inviting suppliers to submit bids for the provision of visitor and events catering services in the restaurant/café area of the newly upgraded Macduff Marine Aquarium.

One of Aberdeenshire’s most popular attractions, the aquarium is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and is set to reopen in early 2026. As part of this exciting redevelopment, a new opportunity is available for a catering partner to contribute to the final design stages of the kitchen and dining areas. The selected caterer will work closely with the Council team to shape the overall food and beverage offer, including input on layout, operations, and the development of a fresh, engaging menu.

This is an exciting opportunity to operate in a unique coastal attraction, delivering high-quality food and beverage services to a diverse range of visitors and event attendees.

Interested parties should refer to the full tender documentation for further details on the scope of services, expectations, and application process by accessing the notice on Public Contract Scotland.

Deadline for submissions: 03/09/2025 at 17:00
