Client Overview
- The Rodillian Academy
- Education – Secondary School Sixth Form
- Wakefield, West Yorkshire
- Sixth form café study and social space
The Challenge
The Rodillian Academy had developed a dedicated café space for its sixth form students to study and socialise. As the area became increasingly popular, students expressed a clear preference for a broader range of high-quality coffee and hot drinks comparable to modern coffee shop standards.
The existing drink provision required upgrading to improve drink quality, expand the range of options, and allow students to access hot drinks even when the café was not staffed.
Procurement Requirements
- Reliable hot drinks provision for sixth form students
- Improved quality of coffee and hot chocolate drinks
- Expanded range of hot drink options
- Ability to offer drinks outside staffed catering hours
- Cashless payment capability
