This tender process is classified under the goods procurement category with a focus on chocolate products. The procurement stage is currently in the Tender phase, with submissions due by 12:00 noon (UK time) on 19 November 2021. Following the award, the contract period is set to commence on 10 January 2022 and conclude on 9 January 2026. This opportunity is part of an open procedure that is below the threshold for formal procurement processes, and is based in London, SW1A 0AA. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in confectionery, particularly those that market chocolates suitable for gifts, impulse purchases, and catering services. Companies engaged in the production or distribution of chocolate products are encouraged to participate, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Successful suppliers will have the chance to showcase their products to a high-profile clientele, including members of the House of Lords and their guests, potentially enhancing brand visibility and market reach. ## Notice The Authority is seeking to appoint between 1-2 suppliers to provide a variety of Chocolates for sale within its retail and catering outlets. The House of Lords represents a unique opportunity for brand owners to place their products in front of high-profile members of the House of Lords, their guests, visitors and approximately 3500 staff who are regular customers of the retail outlets. We recognise that Chocolates are popular at different levels: as impulse buys, self-purchase, as souvenirs, and as luxury gifts. Members like to purchase chocolates as gifts and they are frequently used in banqueting in goodie bags or table gifts. The House of Lords has one retail gift shop on the estate and also offers a small selection of goods in some of our catering outlets. Our goods are also supplied to the House of Commons retail outlets and the online shop.
