## Summary

The public procurement process, initiated by Parliament UK, pertains to the award of a contract for floristry services, titled "GSP1177-Floristry Services - AWARD". This contract primarily falls under the goods category, specifically for floral arrangements (CPV code: 03121210). The contract value is £250,000, with a contract period commencing on 1st January 2018 and concluding on 31st December 2021. The tender was awarded on 21st November 2017, wrapping up the tender stage which ended on 18th September 2017. The services are to be delivered in London, UK, specifically under the jurisdiction of the Houses of Parliament.

The awarded contract presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in floristry, catering services, and event decorations. Suppliers capable of providing high-quality floral displays for banquets and special occasions would find this tender particularly relevant. Given the nature of the requirements, businesses need to be adept at delivering a variety of floral arrangements on short notice, catering to the unique needs of parliamentary events. The successful supplier, Windowflowers Ltd, exemplifies the kind of established business that can thrive in this competitive tender process.

## Notice

The House of Lords and the House of Commons (the Authority) requires a Contractor to provide a wide range of high quality fresh cut flower displays and plants for use within banqueting and dining room events, special occasions and as and when the requirement arises for regular fresh cut flower displays and plants across the Catering Services of both Houses of Parliament. The majority of the requirement is for banqueting and other events, and the costs of flowers are charged to the event customer, not paid for by either House. Accordingly, the value of the contract is indicative of the value over the maximum possible four years of the contract to the contractor, and not the cost to the public purse. The range of floral requirements varies but in the norm the requirement is mostly for table or pedestal decorations.
