NMSU Signs Agreement to Work With Sodexo for Campus Enhancement Initiatives
New Mexico State University and Sodexo have signed a master collaboration agreement – an overarching, umbrella agreement where NMSU and Sodexo agree to work together to find innovative solutions to benefit both entities. Areas that could potentially fall under the agreement include NMSU’s Auxiliary Services unit, Facilities and Services unit and NMSU administration, in general. Terms of any potential individual agreements would be negotiated by both parties at a future time.
The university’s strategic plan, NMSU LEADS 2025, will provide a foundation for discussions going forward. Arvizu said any potential future agreements must improve one of the four goals for NMSU’s strategic plan; provide a high quality experience for students, faculty, staff and the public; and illustrate a savings of resources that NMSU could then invest into priorities to better serve students and the community. Any agreements must also include pre-determined key performance indicators to demonstrate success and opportunities to enhance NMSU’s support and contributions to the community, including small businesses.
The decision to work with Sodexo is the culmination of an 18-month procurement process.
