## Summary

This procurement process, initiated by Middlesbrough Council, involves the supply and distribution of spirits, wine, beer, and cider to the Town Hall and Middlesbrough Theatre. Falling under the category of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products, this contract aligns with the industry classification of goods. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically an award procedure without the prior publication of a call for competition. The signed contract, valued at £300,000, was awarded to LWC Drinks and became active on 23rd March 2025. Located in the UKC12 region, Middlesbrough Council serves as the buying organisation and the contracting authority in this completed procurement process, with the award status activated on 16th June 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the food and beverage industry, particularly those specialising in alcoholic beverages. Suitable businesses are likely those that can provide reliable distribution services to regional locations such as Middlesbrough and manage contracts effectively over an extended period, including possible extensions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with the capacity to fulfill direct awards under frameworks, like the TUCO framework used in this tender, may particularly benefit from such opportunities. As LWC Drinks, a Manchester-based SME, successfully secured the contract, it demonstrates a favourable environment for similarly scaled companies to grow their business through public procurement engagements.
