Description

• The University of Salford currently has two companies servicing 3 campuses (Peel Park, Frederick Road and Media City) and each school being allowed to manage their own requirements which has led to confusion and lack of ownership with staff turnover. • The University has over 25,000 students and 3,000 staff across the 3 campuses. • Some buildings are open 24/7 and others locked during the evenings & weekends. • Some areas are open outside of term time. • The University of Salford is seeking to replace its existing watercooler machines located across it's Peel Park and Frederick Road campus buildings. • The objective is to ensure watercoolers are in high footfall public areas of buildings and they are able to refill sports bottles with ambient and chilled water. • Plastic/paper cups will not be provided at machines. • The use of bottle-fed machines is not to be considered.
