Notice Title

GSP1177-Floristry Services - AWARD

Notice Description

The House of Lords and the House of Commons (the Authority) requires a Contractor to provide a wide range of high quality fresh cut flower displays and plants for use within banqueting and dining room events, special occasions and as and when the requirement arises for regular fresh cut flower displays and plants across the Catering Services of both Houses of Parliament. The majority of the requirement is for banqueting and other events, and the costs of flowers are charged to the event customer, not paid for by either House. Accordingly, the value of the contract is indicative of the value over the maximum possible four years of the contract to the contractor, and not the cost to the public purse. The range of floral requirements varies but in the norm the requirement is mostly for table or pedestal decorations.
