Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons recently completed a procurement process titled "Supply and Distribution of Soft Drinks," in collaboration with the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords. This procurement was conducted under an open procedure in line with the UK Procurement Act 2023. The focus was on supplying the Parliamentary Estate's in-house catering services with soft drinks, managed via an off-site consolidation centre. This tender concluded with its award on 4 December 2025, and the contract commenced on 15 December 2025. Located in London, within the UKI32 region, the contract was valued at £769,981.42 and is active until 14 December 2027, with potential extensions leading up to 2029.

The awarded contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of goods, particularly those dealing with soft drinks. The successful bidder, Snackline Direct Ltd., a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Milton Keynes, underscores the potential for SMEs to secure substantial public contracts. Such engagements can bolster a company’s portfolio by providing consistent work and potentially leading to further contracts within the public sector. Enterprises with robust supply chain capabilities and a focus on creating value through quality and competitive pricing are well-suited to compete in such open tender processes, as demonstrated by the evaluation criteria prioritising commercial cost, quality, and social value.
