The Jockey Club CPS Limited (JCCPS) today announced an Expression of Interests (EOI) exercise for parties interested in operating two food and beverage (F&B) outlets and catering services at the Central Police Station (CPS) compound.

The operator is required to operate two outlets, tentatively named The Old Bailey Restaurant and the Arbuthnot Lounge, to provide F&B support for the Old Bailey Gallery and the Arbuthnot Auditorium respectively, as well as catering services at CPS.

Scheduled to close on 7 August 2015, the EOI will allow JCCPS to understand the level of market interest before the launch of a formal Request for Proposals (RFP).  Information about the EOI can be found on the project web site: https://www.taikwun.hk/en/.

This is a second invitation for F&B operations at the compound. Selection of the first batch of F&B operators is in good progress.  These operators are expected to provide a diverse range of services that cater for a broad segment of visitors and that are compatible with the unique character of the site.

Commercial operations at the compound, including F&B outlets and retail shops, will take up not more than 27% of the total construction floor areas at the site.  They are an integral part of the project plan to provide services to the visitors and provide income to help sustain the operation of the heritage site.

The Central Police Station Revitalisation Project is a partnership of the Government and The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (The Trust).  The JCCPS is a not-for-profit company formed by The Trust to lead the revitalisation of the CPS compound, transforming it into a culture and leisure destination where heritage, contemporary art and leisure elements will be creatively integrated for all to enjoy.
