Introduction and Background

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is contemplating alternate business partnerships in relation to the Royal University Hospital (RUH) Starbucks Kiosk currently operated by Nutrition & Food Services under a Master Licensing Agreement. The kiosk is centrally located on the Main level on the “Mall” concourse.  The RUH campus is comprised of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, Dube Centre for Mental Health and the 406-bed acute care hospital.

Currently the services being sought in this RFP are being provided by the SHA with unionized staff.  Issues of successorship, as found in The Saskatchewan Employment Act should be considered by the respondents to this RFP.  The SHA is not making any representation or comment on the application of successorship to this RFP and respondents should seek legal advice as needed.

Project Scope

The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from qualified vendors for the provision and renovation/construction of a food & beverage kiosk structure which is to include the necessary equipment and supplies to outfit the area provided within the RUH mall. 

The exact scope of services required will be set forth in a negotiated lease agreement between Saskatchewan Health Authority and the food and beverage service provider.

The term of the agreement is proposed as 10 years plus 2 optional 5-year extensions.
