Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is initiated by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, based in London, for the supply and distribution of various alcohol products, including wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks, and cask ale. The trust is seeking suppliers for hospitality and the Thomas Guy Club. This process falls under the industry category of "Beverages, tobacco and related products." The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with the submission deadline for expressions of interest set for 4th November 2025, and the award period ending on 23rd February 2026. The procurement method adopted is a selective, competitive flexible procedure that supports a rapid process due to a qualifying planned procurement notice. The entire contract has a gross value of GBP 502,965 and is planned to start on 6th April 2026, running through to 6th April 2029, with potential extensions until 2031.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the beverage industry, especially those well-versed in supplying large institutions and having experience with NHS trusts. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the selection criteria's encouragement of their participation. The procurement is structured in various lots, allowing businesses focused on specific products, such as wine or cask ale, to focus their bids accordingly. The contract will provide a stable, long-term opportunity, potentially boosting business growth through sustained engagement and financial stability from servicing a prestigious client like NHS Foundation Trust. Suppliers must ensure they have the capability to meet the logistics and quality requirements stipulated, which further enhances their market credibility and performance.

Planning Information

Supplier engagement sessions were held, one took place remotely on 3rd September and one held on site at client premises on 4th September. Key Update - Suppliers questioned the contract start date of January if requiring fixed pricing and many brand owners only review beginning of each year and the bid being submitted in October, there was also discussions on duty increases on top of the annual reviews. It was also apparent that the mobilisation timeline although the right number of weeks, Christmas is not a great time to implement a contract. Avendra feedback is to realign the timeline so the contract start date is April 2026, this will mean that all pricing is then fixed annually from this date with the exception of any duty changes from the budget. It will also allow time for site surveys to be completed, and new equipment installed.
