District Parks - Ice Cream Van Opportunity
The Council is inviting expressions of interest for a Licence Agreement to operate ice cream vans within Verulamium Park, with the potential for an additional or alternative pitch within part of Clarence Park.
The Licence Agreement will run for a multi‑year period to be agreed with the successful operator. The annual trading season is expected to run from 1 April to 30 September each year.
The Council anticipates that the annual Licence Fee will fall within the range of £30,000–£60,000 per year (ex VAT). Operators wishing to express interest must be willing and able to pay a minimum Licence Fee of £25,000 per year (ex VAT).
Operational Requirements
Power Supply:
- All frozen‑at‑point‑of‑sale ice cream equipment must operate using battery-powered electricity.
- One van may be permitted to use a grid-fed power supply, except during periods when floodwater makes the socket inaccessible.
- Diesel engines or generators must not be used for freezing equipment, except as a limited backup on exceptionally busy trading days.
Vehicle Size and Weight:
- Vehicles must not exceed the size or weight of a small Ford Transit, VW Transporter, or equivalent model. This restriction is required to protect bridges and routeways within the parks.
