Vending machines

Tender description

The Whittington Health NHS Trust (the ‘Trust’) wants to appoint a range of retail partner(s), as tenants, to provide a range of retail options on the first floor at Whittington Hospital. The Trust is hoping to achieve a range of retail provisions to encompass the following offers: a convenience range, delicatessen, café, a range of hot and cold meals, snack and beverage options with a separate café. The Trust also wishes to appoint a provider to deliver a vending service across the Whittington Hospital site. The vending services must include a range of healthier options including an out of hours hot meal service offer. The Trust’s current financial situation does not allow the Trust to invest any capital at this stage and would want the bidders to find creative ways of being able to fund the modernisation of the existing retail units. The Trust wants to maximise the income generation/rent income as much as possible, while allowing a high quality service to be delivered, with emphasis on healthier food options and the Trust does not have fixed expectations as to how best to achieve this. The income generation model will be subject to negotiation with the Trust. Potential bidders are encouraged to attend the site visit that will be held on Wednesday, 31.7.2019.
