Vending Contract for Lodge Park Sports Centre and Corby East Midlands International Pool, North Northants Council

Part of North Northants Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced Supplier to install ten (10) vending machines on a fully managed service basis at Lodge Park Sports Centre (seven (7) machines) and Corby East Midlands International Pool (three (3) machines).

Lodge Park Sports Centre and Corby East Midlands International Pool are situated in Corby, Northamptonshire and operated by North Northamptonshire Council. Both facilities are well used by the public, with thousands of visitors per year. There is currently no vending provision at either site, as the former vending provision contract has expired.

The Council is seeking a fully managed service, to include:

supply of stock; restocking; and repair and maintenance of machines as and when required.

The Supplier must provide Monthly accounting reports, for both Lodge Park Sports Centre and Corby East Midlands International Pool, to evidence the income gained from the machines. A profit-sharing arrangement is to be agreed. This could be either a percentage of sales or a rebate scheme where prices could be set by the Council, over and above the costs set by the Supplier.

This contract is to run for a minimum of three (3) years, with the option for two (2) further one (1) year extensions, in essence a maximum five (5) year contract.

Applications must be made using the e-QUOTATION FORM and returned to Kevin.Williams@northnorthants.gov.uk by 12 noon on Friday 16th September 2022.
