UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wilton Park, a central government public authority, procured beverage supplies for catering at Wiston House in Steyning, supporting events held by Wilton Park. The requirement covers tea and coffee and is classified within food, beverages, tobacco and related products. It is a goods contract delivered to the organisation’s Wiston House site. The procurement concerns cumulative spend on beverage supplies rather than a one-off event order, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide recurring tea and coffee deliveries for an events and hospitality operation. The buyer is Wilton Park, whose base is Wiston House, Steyning, West Sussex.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. One completed lot was awarded to Edgcumbe Tea & Coffee Company Limited. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £10,589.41 excluding VAT, or £12,707.29 including VAT. The contract is active. The stated requirement was evaluated and awarded through the direct, below-threshold route rather than an open tender. Edgcumbe Tea & Coffee Company Limited is the selected supplier for the full beverage-supplies requirement.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Wilton Park for tea and coffee to support catering at Wiston House events. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply core beverage products reliably, manage repeat orders and support an events-based hospitality operation. The buyer’s selection of a specialist tea and coffee company, rather than a general construction, consultancy or facilities provider, indicates that relevant product knowledge and dependable supply arrangements are central to the requirement. Small and medium-sized suppliers can be well placed for this type of work, particularly those able to serve the Wiston House site and provide consistent customer service for cumulative purchasing.
