Description
FORMAL EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST INVITED PRIOR TO THE RUNNING OF A CLOSED TENDER:
The project comprises an agreement to provide a comprehensive goods supply contract for a new convenience operation by Lancaster University to meet the needs of its students, staff and visitors. The University would expect the supplier to have product ranges that demonstrate an understanding of the needs of a campus market, including value for money, ethical and environmental concerns and promotional programme and support. The supplier will need to demonstrate realistic 3-year profitability projections based upon the goods supplied.
In association with the University Project Development and Procurement Teams, the University is also seeking support for the procurement and project management of the fit out of the new store, including EPOS (including self-service checkouts) and ordering systems, using proven sector experience and knowledge.
The University would be interested in understanding value added elements to the contract such as training, merchandising and planograms, brand strength, research and product development.
The site is located at the heart of the University's Bailrigg campus and comprises an area of approximately 338.2 m2. Please see attached outline plan.
Lancaster University has residential students all year round, with trading peaks during term times. There are nearly 7000 students accommodated on the University campus, with a total student population of approximately 15,000 with students from the UK and around the world, as well as 3000 staff and year-round visitors.
