Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Provision of Beers, Minerals, Spirits and Cellar Services" is currently in the planning stage, led by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons in conjunction with the House of Lords. This initiative aims to source a supplier for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, along with technical cellar services, for venues within the UK Parliament. The industry category is centred around food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. Key dates include the commencement of Request for Information (RFI) engagement on 28th August 2025, with documents obtainable by registering interest through their specified platform before 19th September 2025. The tender process is scheduled to advance with further communications expected by 1st October 2025, and the contract period is anticipated to begin in March 2026.

This tender offers a notable business growth opportunity, particularly for suppliers who can provide a diverse range of beverages and possess expertise in cellar management. Companies specialising in bar and hospitality services, particularly those experienced in supplying to public authorities or large institutions, may find this opportunity particularly lucrative given the projected contract value of £1,200,000. Engaging in this procurement process could expand their client portfolio and provide steady business over the contract term, which may extend until February 2030 if renewals are enacted.
