Single Party framework agreement for the provision of On Campus Catering Service Concession at NUI Maynooth
Maynooth University wishes to establish a single party framework agreement with an initial contract for the provision of specified catering service concessions at its campus.
The successful operator will offer a full range of catering services to Maynooth University students, staff and visitors on a concession basis.
The maximum duration of the framework agreement will be for up to 7 years.
It will initially be awarded for 4 years but may be extended out to 7 years (on an annual basis, subject to review).
The following catering concessions are included in the initial contract under the framework:
— Phoenix Restaurant.
— Library Café.
— Arts Cafe.
— John Hume Unit 4.
Additional catering service concessions may be awarded from this framework as they arise.
The existing arrangements have different end dates and the new arrangements will commence on the expiry of the current arrangements and
will all end contemporaneously.
A service concession is an autonomous and independent EU concept defined as ‘a contract of the same type as a service contract except for the fact that the consideration for the provision of services consists either in the right to exploit the service or in this right together with payment’.
Its meaning has been further clarified through EU Case — Law. Essentially, a service concession can exist only when the concessionaire receives payment for the services rendered, not from the awarding authority, but from the recipients of the service.
Additionally, the concessionaire accepts a certain degree of risk, possibly resulting in financial losses.
