# Indoor catering concession for Bord Bia Bloom 2027+

Bord Bia is seeking experienced and qualified providers to operate indoor catering at Bloom 2027+ in Phoenix Park, Dublin. This is described as a concession-fee contract, with an estimated value of €1.8 million representing potential earnings rather than a guaranteed payment to the provider. The form lists an open procedure, MEAT evaluation, a 48-month duration and no lots. It also marks a framework agreement while giving the timeframe as N/A; the notice does not explain that relationship.
