UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd, through Liverpool Experience Campus Hotel Ltd trading as Pullman Liverpool, procured a sub-contract procurement service for its Convention Centre and Exhibition Centre operation in Liverpool. The appointed service is intended to work alongside the organisation’s existing sub-contract catering supplier. Its scope covers the procurement of food, beverages, associated equipment and other related goods, supporting the venues’ hospitality and events activity. This is a procurement consultancy service, rather than the direct supply of catering products or equipment. The buying organisation is based at Kings Dock, Liverpool, and delivery is in the Liverpool area. The requirement is relevant to procurement consultancies and purchasing organisations with experience of foodservice, hospitality, catering operations, equipment and goods sourcing for conference, exhibition or hotel venues.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 September 2026 to Regency Purchasing Group Ltd, a Compass Group company. The contract was let by direct award, below the applicable threshold and without competition. The recorded award value is £0 including VAT, in GBP. The initial contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option, at Liverpool Experience Campus Hotel Ltd’s sole discretion, to extend for a further two years to a maximum end date of 31 March 2031. A scheduled signature milestone is due on 2 October 2026. An eight-working-day standstill period applies and ends at midnight on 1 October 2026. The procurement has one completed lot and was evaluated through the direct-award route.

This award demonstrates demand for an outsourced purchasing function supporting a major hospitality and events venue, with procurement activity spanning food, beverages, catering equipment and associated goods. A credible future competitor would need specialist purchasing and procurement consultancy capability, with a practical understanding of catering supply chains, hospitality operations and the requirements of convention and exhibition centres. Experience coordinating procurement alongside an incumbent catering contractor would be particularly relevant, as the service is designed to operate in parallel with that supplier rather than replace it. Suppliers should be able to manage varied goods categories, engage and negotiate with relevant vendors, and support the buyer with structured purchasing advice and delivery across the Liverpool operation. The requirement may suit established procurement organisations able to integrate with venue and catering teams.
