Seeking competitive proposals from prospective vendors for Vending Services. The primary objective of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to enable the District to partner with a vendor capable of providing high level service and improving revenue contributions, while reducing total costs and improving the quality of the Vending Service Program. Products for vending snacks/beverages and refreshment services can be bid independently or all areas combined. The District’s goal for Vending Services is to provide quality products and services for its facilities at the best value possible. With this in mind, the District requires that the program operate with uniform pricing across JPS Health Network. The District uses a variety of vending products across various locations, but has worked to consolidate to one primary vendor for the supply and services to the District. The Successful Bidder is expected to provide and install the necessary vending equipment at their own expense to support their programs. Additionally, the Successful Bidder will be required to develop a transition and marketing/communication plan for all locations that are not currently supported with a vending program that you are proposing. The District expects the Successful Bidder to make recommendations for the best locations and product mix for each vending machine. The cost of the startup, transition and communication as well as any related travel and materials is at the expense of the Successful Bidder.
