Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, together with the House of Lords and House of Commons, procured grocery products (CPV 15000000) for the UK Parliament’s in-house catering services. The requirement covered sourcing and distributing a range of grocery, chilled and frozen food, including miscellaneous food products. Delivery and service activity centred on the Parliamentary Estate in Westminster, London. This was a goods requirement delivered by a sole supplier, supporting catering operations across Parliament rather than a general food retail or hospitality supply arrangement. Relevant businesses are foodservice distributors with the systems, supplier relationships and operational capability to handle mixed ambient, chilled and frozen grocery requirements for a large institutional catering customer.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Creed Foodservice, and the contract is active. The contract value is £2,044,300. The contract was signed on 2 June 2023 and has a duration of 1,440 days. The procurement used one lot and evaluated tenders on quality, weighted at 40%, and commercial considerations, weighted at 60%. Nine suppliers expressed interest and two submitted tenders; both bids were electronic. The tender submission deadline was 14 November 2022 at noon, and bids were required in English. The procurement was conducted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for consolidated grocery distribution to Parliament’s in-house catering operation. A future competitor would need to provide a dependable multi-temperature foodservice offer covering ambient grocery, chilled products and frozen food, with reliable sourcing, stock control, order fulfilment and delivery to a central London parliamentary estate. The requirement suits an established distributor able to manage a broad product range through one accountable supply arrangement rather than separate specialist suppliers. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating service quality alongside competitive commercial terms, reflecting the balance used in evaluation. The two submitted bids indicate that suppliers must present a clearly evidenced operating model and commercially disciplined pricing for institutional catering.
