What the notice says

Brio Leisure is seeking to engage with innovative, forward-thinking vending operators for our upcoming soft market testing exercise. Vending services represent a vital touchpoint for our customers, staff, and visitors across our estate, frequently operating as the primary or sole source of nourishment during late evenings or at unstaffed provisions. In partnership with our Public Health team, our objective is to transition our vending provision into a healthier, sustainable model that supports a whole-systems approach to health and wellbeing.
