Summary
|
|
In April 2000, the York Region District School Board issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the exclusive provision of soft drink and snack vending machines in the Board's schools. This type of arrangement is common in public educational institutions throughout North America as a means of raising revenue to cover various costs associated with education delivery. These agreements have recently garnered attention, in particular, due to concerns related to their impact on student health. In the United States (U.S.) the agreements that are reached through an RFP or tender process are often referred to as "pouring rights contracts". They have also been referred to as "exclusive sponsorship contracts", "exclusive vending agreements", "vending and pouring agreements" and "branding agreements". In this situation, eight companies submitted bids in May 2000 and the Board selected the winning bidder (the affected party) during the summer of 2000. The affected party and the Board did not execute a formal contract at that time and, as a result, there is some dispute regarding the nature of the relationship between the Board and the affected party during the time following the selection of the affected party. However, the parties did sign a contract more than two years later, in March of 2003.
