UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wilton Park procured food supplies for catering at Wiston House in Steyning, supporting events held at the venue. The requirement covers food, beverages, tobacco and related products, with the description indicating that supplies are purchased for the cumulative spend associated with Wilton Park’s events. This is a goods contract rather than a catering-services or venue-management contract: the commercial opportunity is to supply the products used by the catering operation. Delivery and use are centred on Wiston House, Steyning, West Sussex. Businesses should therefore assess their ability to supply food and related catering consumables to this central-government public authority and to support event catering at a single venue.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to The Pure Oyster Company Limited following a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one requirement and the award is active. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £14,076.17 excluding VAT and £16,891.41 including VAT. The contracting route was a limited procedure, described as below-threshold limited competition. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was evaluated through the competition process, with the published procurement information identifying food supplies for Wilton Park’s event catering as the subject of the award.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for a food supplier supporting public-sector events at Wilton Park’s Wiston House venue. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have a dependable range of food, beverages and related catering products, together with the operational capacity to fulfil cumulative event-related orders for a single venue. A credible competitor would need to manage regular supply over the contract term, respond reliably to the needs of an events and catering operation, and maintain consistent service and product availability. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist supplier, rather than requiring the scale of a major national distributor. Food wholesalers, specialist suppliers and established event-catering supply businesses are the closest fit.
