Pop-up Food and Beverage Operator – Harbour Beach @Waterfront Park

The City of North Vancouver is seeking qualified operators to manage a pop-up food and beverage patio at Waterfront Park during the summer of 2026, with the initiative titled Pop-up Food and Beverage Operator – Harbour Beach @Waterfront Park. The solicitation, identified as BC229944, was posted on May 27, 2026, and responses are due by June 19, 2026. The operator will be responsible for designing, setting up, and running a temporary outdoor dining experience that aligns with the City’s goals for public space activation, customer service, and community engagement. The location is a high-visibility waterfront area, and the successful applicant must demonstrate experience in food and beverage operations, adherence to health and safety standards, and the ability to comply with municipal bylaws and environmental guidelines. The contract is anticipated to run for the duration of the summer season, subject to weather and municipal approval. The City of North Vancouver, acting through its Purchasing Department, is the issuing authority for this opportunity and has designated Beth Savage as the primary point of contact for inquiries, reachable at [email hidden]. While the solicitation is listed under the Government of Canada’s procurement portal, the award and management of the contract fall entirely under the jurisdiction of the City of North Vancouver, not federal entities. Applicants must be prepared to provide detailed operational plans, financial projections, insurance coverage, and staffing arrangements. The City will evaluate proposals based on quality of concept, experience, sustainability practices, pricing, and alignment with community values. No set-aside provisions are specified, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible private operators, and the selected vendor will enter into a direct agreement with the City to operate the popup patio under agreed terms and conditions.
