Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 60
- Price: 40
- Suitability
As stated in the tender documentation
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Internationally Recognised Coffee Brand” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: The Universities want to establish the framework because: - Responds to student experience survey requiring more brand leading coffee outlets.- Allow the Universities of Leicester, University of Nottingham and University of Wolverhampton to each enter into separate franchise agreements with an internationally recognised coffee brand owner.- 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 will use their own staff to operate their coffee 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 coffer brand owner. 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.- The framework period is 4 years. The call-off franchise agreement will run for a 5 year period with an option to extend for up to a further 5 years period.
