two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Catering at Boston Spa is currently delivered to staff, visitors and contractors within mixed-use spaces. Staff working at Boston Spa also have access to small kitchenettes. Many staff work in offices or spaces in which they are not allowed to eat and drink, so these kitchenettes and the restaurant are important spaces for break times. There is no cultural or major retail offer at present, so the majority of visitors to the site come to access our collections in the Reading Room. We hope to expand our services at this site in the future, as part of the Boston Spa Renewed project. You can find out more about this work here: https://www.bl.uk/projects/boston-spa-plans
