The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) wishes to invite tenderers to submit proposals for the FIFA Public Food & Beverage Concession operations for the following FIFA events:
2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™
FIFA Confederations Cup Russia 2017
The FIFA Public Food & Beverage Concessionaire Programme is the programme which FIFA will oversee to cater for the general stadium ticket holders for both tournaments.
Across both events, an estimated 3.7 million general public ticket holders are expected to attend matches at the 12 FIFA World Cup and four FIFA Confederation Cup stadiums, and the Public Food & Beverage Concessionaire Programme will play a major role in their match-day experience. The Programme will also provide temporary jobs for thousands of local Russian workers in the eleven Host Cities.
The Tender Process is divided into two phases:
Phase 1: FIFA invites companies to respond to the invitation to tender by providing the information and documentation requested in Section 5 of the document.
