PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen is buying wine supplies for use mainly at large university and ceremonial events, including graduations, weddings and funerals. The requirement covers the supply and delivery of wine, including some same-day deliveries. This is a goods opportunity, classified under CPV 15930000 for beverages, and delivery is in Aberdeen. The University of Aberdeen is the buying organisation and will use the supplies for its own events and functions. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide a suitable range of wine products, respond to event-related orders and deliver reliably to Aberdeen, including when a same-day requirement arises. The contract is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement.

The procurement has reached tender: the University of Aberdeen invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted electronically by 31 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids opened at that time. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The buyer may renew the arrangement through five optional one-year extensions, subject to performance and mutual agreement. Bids were required in English and had to remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Suppliers could not submit variants. Electronic ordering and payment are supported, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award period was scheduled to start on 31 August 2026.

This opportunity suits wine wholesalers, distributors and specialist drinks suppliers able to provide dependable supply for a public university’s events programme. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses with an established wine portfolio, reliable stock availability and delivery operations serving Aberdeen. Suppliers should be able to handle orders connected with graduations, weddings, funerals and other large events, where timing and dependable fulfilment will matter. The requirement also suits businesses equipped to receive and process electronic orders, make electronic payments and submit compliant electronic tender responses in English. A same-day delivery capability is important for at least some orders. Businesses able to support a long-term supply relationship, including potential annual extensions based on performance, are well placed to compete.
