    Brief

    Keele University seeks a managed vending solution provider through the YPO Framework to supply, install, and maintain vending machines across campus on a free-of-charge loan basis. The opportunity covers hot drinks, cold drinks, and snack vending machines. The commercial model operates on a rebate basis, where the University receives ongoing financial returns from machine sales revenue. This is a compliant framework procurement, offering a turnkey service where the provider assumes responsibility for equipment provision, installation, and ongoing maintenance while benefiting from sales commissions. Prospective suppliers should have experience in managed vending operations and the ability to service multiple machine types across an educational institution.
