UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Lords bought a high-quality own-label branded single malt Scotch whisky. The product is designed and produced for retail through the House of Lords gift shop, other parliamentary retail outlets and the official Parliament website. This is a goods requirement involving alcohol products, with delivery in London. The opportunity concerns private-label whisky production rather than general hospitality, catering or bar services. It is relevant to distilleries, whisky producers, private-label drinks manufacturers and suppliers able to develop a branded single malt Scotch whisky product for sale through public-sector retail channels. The buyer is a central government public authority associated with the House of Lords and Parliament.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected for the single lot: Own Label Company Scotland Ltd. The authority used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was awarded on 28 April 2026 and signed on the same date. It runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £87,000 excluding VAT, or £104,400 including VAT. The contract is active. The selected supplier is Own Label Company Scotland Ltd, based in Broxburn. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition process, and the procurement covered one complete lot for the single malt whisky supply.

This award confirms a defined retail demand from the House of Lords for a high-quality, own-label single malt Scotch whisky rather than an off-the-shelf branded product. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need the capability to develop or produce Scotch whisky to a consistent quality, support an own-label brand, and supply a product suitable for sale through parliamentary gift shops, other retail outlets and Parliament’s online shop. A credible competitor would also need to manage production and fulfilment for a public-sector retail operation, maintain reliable product quality and present a finished product suitable for direct sale to customers. Whisky distilleries, private-label producers and specialist drinks manufacturers are the closest fit.
