Description

The University of Nottingham requests tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified suppliers to establish a framework agreement for the provision of Internationally Recognised Coffee Brand. The framework tender process is being managed by the University of Nottingham with the framework, once awarded, being available for use by the University of Wolverhampton and University of Leicester (the Universities). Tenderer's should note, the University of Leicester does not have an immediate requirement to use this framework. A summary of requirements are provided below with further details available in the tender documentation.

- The Universities wish to have a direct corporate relationship with the brand owner, they are not looking for a franchisee to operate these outlets.
- The Universities use their own staff to operate these outlets and this will remain the case. The Universities will retain any revenue from sales and will agree levels of Royalties/marketing/delivery fees with the successful Franchisor. During quiet periods such as out of term periods where sales are low, the Universities would expect to negotiate a minimal Royalty percentage or minimum fees with the franchisor.
- A Framework Agreement will be established for a period of 4 years commencing on 13th December 2021, or as otherwise agreed, and each University may contract within the terms of the framework within this period.
- It is expected that each franchise agreement will run for a 5 year period with an option to extend for up to a further 5 years period.
