Summary of the contracting process

Wilton Park procured additional hotel accommodation for its requirements. The service is hotel lodging, classified under hotel, restaurant and retail trade services. The buyer is Wilton Park, a central government public authority based at Wiston House in Steyning. The contract was awarded to The Castle Inn Bramber Ltd, whose business is based in Eastbourne. The procurement covers one lot of hotel accommodation; the stated purpose is to meet additional accommodation needs. The location where guests are to be accommodated is not identified in the available procurement details, so the service should be understood as hotel accommodation for Wilton Park rather than tied to a particular town or hotel site.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Wilton Park used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. One lot was awarded to The Castle Inn Bramber Ltd. The award value is not separately recorded; the contract value is £25,000 excluding VAT (£30,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active, and the contract is active. The published details do not give an evaluation formula or specific eligibility requirements, beyond the use of limited competition. This records an award outcome rather than an unawarded opportunity.

For suppliers competing for comparable Wilton Park accommodation requirements, credibility rests on being able to provide hotel rooms that meet the buyer’s additional accommodation needs, and to deliver them reliably within a limited-competition procurement. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized hotel business, showing that this requirement can be served by an SME rather than only a large hotel group. Hotel operators with suitable room capacity, dependable booking and guest-service operations, and the ability to respond to a defined public-sector requirement are the closest fit. The procurement concerns accommodation specifically, not a wider hotel, restaurant or retail services package. The modest, single-lot contract indicates a contained requirement rather than a large multi-lot programme; suppliers should be able to service a focused accommodation contract of this kind.
