UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is buying a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for supply as required by its service departments and venues. The requirement also covers the provision, installation and maintenance of associated bar and cellar equipment needed to operate drinks and bar services. This is primarily a goods supply opportunity, with related equipment services. Products include distilled and spirituous alcoholic drinks, as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Delivery and service are required across the United Kingdom. The requirement may suit beverage wholesalers, drinks distributors, bar-equipment suppliers and specialist hospitality-service providers able to combine product supply with equipment installation and ongoing maintenance. The Council has identified an established and competitive supplier market for the requirement.

The procurement reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 28 September 2026 at 4:00pm, and offers were due by 9 October 2026 at 10:00am. The Council expected to complete award decisions by 29 October 2026. The planned contract period is 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2029, with renewal options comprising two 12-month periods; the maximum stated end date is 29 November 2031. The estimated value is £1,500,000 excluding VAT and £1,800,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits suppliers with an established range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including spirits and other distilled drinks, alongside the technical capability to provide, install and maintain bar and cellar equipment. Strong candidates will be able to support multiple Council service departments and venues and respond to requirements as they arise, rather than supplying a single one-off order. The scope favours businesses that can manage both product distribution and practical hospitality equipment services, with dependable operational capacity for work across the United Kingdom. Experience running drinks and bar services, maintaining cellar systems and equipment, and delivering consistent service to public-sector or multi-site customers would be commercially relevant. Bidders should also be prepared to demonstrate quality and provide measurable social value, as these together account for 40% of the evaluation.
