Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process, led by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, focused on securing 'Speciality Pastry Ingredients' for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The procurement falls under the goods category and is located in London, United Kingdom, specifically in the UKI32 region. The process was conducted through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold status. Notably, the award was finalised and the contract became active on 1 October 2025, with a completion date set for 30 September 2026, and an option for a one-year extension up to 30 September 2027. The successful supplier is Ritter Courivaud, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Leeds, with the contract valued at GBP 86,554.22.

This tender offers excellent opportunities for businesses in the food supply industry, particularly those specialising in pastry goods, to engage with central government clients such as the UK Parliament. Due to its nature of limited competition, SMEs that can efficiently meet delivery and quality metrics, such as a 98.5% on-time delivery rate, will find themselves well-suited to compete. Companies providing similar products and maintaining strong logistical and fulfilment capabilities can leverage this opportunity to grow by partnering with significant public sector organisations. The contract requirements emphasise product availability and pricing accuracy, which are vital for maintaining successful supplier relationships with government entities.
