This was originally published as FRAM522/21 but due to no compliant returns the tender process was abandoned so UoB engaged directly with the market. Numerous companies were contacted but were unable to supply/deliver requirements. This was the only company that were able to provide requirements.
This is a 3 year framework with the option to extend for a further 12 months. Pricing is very competitive. This is also a local supplier based 1.5 miles away from the Edgbaston Campus and therefore lessening the carbon footprint. There are also no delivery charges due to closeness of location.
We are unable to assess the Conferencing requirements due to no historic data due to Covid. Also, we are unable to give volumes at present. This contract covers all laundry Campus Wide as the previous provider terminated their contract as of 24th June 2022.
